This series consists of records created and maintained by the Hon. Marcel Prud'homme when he was an Independent Senator from 1993 to 2009.

On May 26, 1993, Prime Minister Brian Mulroney appointed Marcel Prud'homme to the Senate - the only Independent senator appointed by Mulroney. Prud'homme was considered an active senator due to his work inside and outside the high-chamber. He often spoke out on key issues such as the place of French Canadians in Canada, minority rights, foreign affairs, and the rights of indigenous people. Prud'homme also held the position of Senate Ethics Officer, which has the mandate to administer the Ethics and Conflict of Interest Code for Senators. He also worked in several Senate and joint committees, including the Standing Senate Committee on Foreign Affairs; Security Intelligence Review Committee; Subcommittees on Veterans Affairs; Standing Committee on Banking, Trade and Commerce; and the Standing Committee on Senate Reform. Finally, he participated in numerous Canadian delegations travelling across the globe for international events.

He left the Senate on November 30, 2009, having reached the mandatory retirement age of 75. He was the dean of Parliament, having served 45 years, 9 months and 21 days consecutively in the House of Commons and the Senate, among the longest parliamentary careers.

This series consists of five sub-series: Senate Interventions; Conflict of interests & Ethics Commissioner; Senate & Joint Committees; Travel & Delegations; and Senator General Files.
