- Patricia "Pat" Carney, PC CM (born May 26, 1935) is a former Canadian Senator and Cabinet minister. Carney first ran for the Canadian House of Commons as a Progressive Conservative candidate in the 1979 election and was defeated. She was elected in the 1980 election as the Member of Parliament (MP) from Vancouver Centre. When the Tories formed government under Prime Minister Brian Mulroney as a result of the 1984 election, Carney was appointed to Cabinet as Minister of Energy, Mines and Resources, and was responsible for dismantling the previous Canadian government's unpopular National Energy Program. In 1986, she was named Minister of International Trade and, as such, was involved in negotiating the Canada-US Free Trade Agreement. Carney did not run for re-election in the 1988 election. In 1990, she was appointed to the Canadian Senate by Governor General Ray Hnatyshyn. Carney, a pro-choice advocate of women's rights to abortion, voted against the abortion law proposed by her successor as MP for Vancouver Centre, Kim Campbell. The bill failed in the Senate by one vote. In 2000 Carney acted on concerns that landmark lighthouses on both Canadian coast were being neglected by teaming up with the late Senator Mike Forrestall from Nova Scotia to introduce the Heritage Lighthouse Protection Act, a private members bill which has enjoyed consistent multi-party support in subsequent minority Parliaments. More recently Carney mused that the Province of British Columbia might benefit from separating from Canada. Carney became a Conservative Senator in 2004 following the merger of the Progressive Conservative Party and the Canadian Alliance. On October 11, 2007, the Prime Minister's Office announced that Senator Carney intended to resign, two years in advance of the mandatory retirement age of 75 years. She officially resigned on January 31, 2008. In 2011, she was made a Member of the Order of Canada "for her public service as a journalist, politician and senator."

Carney brigue un siège à la Chambre des communes du Canada sous la bannière progressiste-conservatrice pour la première fois lors de l'élection de 1979, et est défaite. Elle est élue lors des élections de 1980 dans la circonscription de Vancouver Centre. Lorsque les tories forment le gouvernement sous le premier ministre Brian Mulroney après les élections de 1984, Carney est nommée au conseil des ministres en tant que ministre de l'Énergie, des mines et ressources, et est responsable du démantèlement de l'impopulaire programme énergétique national du gouvernement précédent. En 1986, elle est nommée ministre du Commerce international et, dans cette capacité, est impliquée dans la négociation de l'Accord de libre-échange canado-américain. Carney ne se représente pas aux élections de 1988. En 1990, elle est nommée au Sénat du Canada. Carney, une militante pro-choix, vote contre la loi sur l'avortement proposée par sa successeur dans Vancouver Centre, Kim Campbell. La loi est défaite au Sénat par seulement une voix. Récemment, Carney a déclaré que la province de la Colombie-Britannique pourrait être avantagée en se séparant du Canada. Carney devient une sénatrice pour le Parti conservateur en 2004 suite à la fusion de l'Alliance canadienne et du Parti progressiste-conservateur.
