Hill Times contributor Cardozo one of three new Senators namedThere are three fewer vacancies in the Red Chamber with Prime Minister Justin Trudeau having announced the appointment of a trio of new Senators on Nov. 21, including Hill Times contributor and Pearson Centre president Andrew Cardozo. Cardozo has been appointed to represent Ontario, as have the other two new Senators: Dr. Sharon Burey, a behavioural pediatrician from Windsor, Ont., and Rear-Admiral Rebecca Patterson of the Canadian Armed Forces. “I know that their rich experiences, diverse perspectives, and passion for public service will help them be strong voices for all Ontarians,” said Trudeau in a press release.

The Hill Times file photograph Cardozo, a longtime guest columnist for The Hill Times, has been president of the Pearson Centre for Progressive Policy since 2013. He previously taught at Carleton University, as part of its School of Journalism and Communication, and is also a former executive director of the Alliance of Sector Councils and of the Canadian Ethnocultural Council, and is an ex-commissioner of the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission.

She’s also recently been a member of the Ontario Medical Association’s health policy committee and previously was a member of the OMA’s women’s physicians committee, among other past roles. “Dr. Burey has dedicated her career to equality and justice for those living in poverty, visible minorities, and other marginalized communities,” reads the release. Patterson has been a member of the CAF for more than three decades, having enrolled as a critical care nursing officer in 1989. Most recently, she’s been busy as director general for culture change and chief professional conduct and cultu
