Ontario Tory MPP Bob Runciman heads a list of five new senators named by Prime Minister Stephen Harper on Friday. Also named are Pierre-Hugues Boisvenu from Quebec, Vim Kochhar from Ontario, Elizabeth Marshall from Newfoundland and Labrador, and Rose-May Poirier from New Brunswick. The appointments give the Conservative government a plurality of seats in the upper house. A statement from the Prime Minister's Office called the appointments "another step toward implementing the government's tackling-crime agenda and respecting the will of the democratically-elected House of Commons."
