This list comprises persons who belong to the Jewish faith, who have been elected to the federal House of Commons, legislative assemblies of provinces and territories, and members appointed to the Senate.
Both George Benjamin and Selim Franklin were elected in pre-Confederation Canada and are therefore not listed.
There have been 45 Jewish Canadians who have served as Members of Parliament, as well as 20 who have been named Senators.
Provincially, Jews have been elected to 9 of the 13 legislatures – with only New Brunswick, Prince Edward Island, Northwest Territories and Nunavut never having Jewish representation.
Dave Barrett remains the only Jewish Premier (of British Columbia, 1972-1975), although Bob Rae (Premier of Ontario 1990-1995) has very strong family ties to the Jewish faith (though he has never converted himself).
