DescriptionCALGARY -- One of Alberta's senators-in-waiting is waiting no longer.

Prime Minister Stephen Harper has announced in Calgary that he has signed the order in council officially appointing Bert Brown to Canada's upper chamber.

Brown, a property development consultant, is now free to take his Senate seat when Parliament resumes this fall.

The one-time farmer has been campaigning for Senate reform for more than 20 years and was the most popular choice during Alberta's third Senate election in 2004.

He once plowed the message "Triple E Senate or Else'' into his neighbour's barley field.

Harper, also a proponent of Senate reform, announced in April that Brown would fill a vacancy left by the retirement of veteran Liberal Dan Hays.
