| Description | David Braley, who owns the B.C. Lions and the Toronto Argonauts of the Canadian Football League, is being appointed a senator by Prime Minister Stephen Harper.
Braley will replace Conservative Senator Wilbert Keon.
Keon has reached the mandatory Senate retirement age of 75.
Harper has typically waited for a number of Senate vacancies to open up before making a group appointment, but officials in the government say there is too much important legislation to be passed before the summer recess and every Tory vote is needed. |
