David Wark, (February 19, 1804 – August 20, 1905) Irish-born, was a prominent Canadian Senator who served nearly 38 years in office. He represented Kent County in the Legislative Assembly of New Brunswick from 1843 to 1850. In 1847, he introduced a resolution calling for free trade among the British North American colonies and was, therefore, among the first to seek the closer relations among the colonies that eventually led, 20 years later, to Confederation. Wark was named to the Legislative Council in 1850 and served until Confederation. He served in the province's Executive Council as a minister without portfolio from 1858 to 1862 and as Receiver General from 1866 to 1867. Wark was named Senator by a Royal Proclamation in 1867. Known as the "Grand Old Man of the Canadian Senate", he served until his death at the age of 101. At the time of his demise, Wark was the longest lived legislator in the world; he was later surpassed by another Canadian Senator, Georges-Casimir Dessaulles, who died in 1930 at the age of 102.

Il est ensuite nommé au Conseil législatif du Nouveau-Brunswick de 1850 à 1867. Il siège également au Conseil exécutif en tant que Ministre sans portefeuille de 1858 à 1862 et devient Receveur général de 1866 à 1867. Après la création de la confédération, il est nommé sénateur libéral par proclamation royale du 23 octobre 1867 et le reste jusqu'à sa mort intervenue le 20 août 1905, soit pendant 38 ans. (fr) |
