The following senators have been elected to manage the CSG for a two-year term, beginning on January 5, 2026: 

Leader - The Honourable Flordeliz (Gigi) Osler 
 
Deputy Leader - The Honourable Robert Black

The CSG sincerely thanks the Honourable Scott Tannas, Rebecca Patterson and Percy Downe for their contribution over the last term. They will continue to be active members of the group. 
 
“I am pleased to pass the torch to a new group of Senate leaders. Since its creation in 2019, the Canadian Senators Group gathered senators who wanted to do things differently. To speak, act and vote independently while ensuring that the Senate did its work thoroughly as the founders of our country intended. The CSG is in very good hands with this new team.” 

– The Honourable Senator Scott Tannas, Outgoing Leader

“It is a privilege to step into this leadership role. Our caucus is built on respect, teamwork, and a commitment to thoughtful, constructive work in the Senate. I look forward to working closely with Senators from across the chamber to ensure that our debates remain constructive, our work remains principled, and our decisions reflect the best interests of Canadians.” 

– The Honourable Senator Flordeliz (Gigi) Osler, Incoming Leader
