High River-born Senator Scott Tannas congratulates the winners of the recent senate election in Alberta.

Unfortunately he doesn't believe they'll see the inside of the senate.

"I don't think that the prime minister will pay attention to it, he's been fairly clear on that, as have other Liberal prime ministers, they've said the same thing which makes it fair game, at least you know what you're getting into or not getting into," said Tannas.

The three winners are Pam Davidson, Erika Barootes and Mykhailo Martyniouk, all Conservatives.

Tannas gives them, and all the candidates credit for getting involved.

"I really admire people that will invest that kind of time, energy and resources for something that they hope happens and that they're committed to supporting." the senator says.

There are two vacancies in the senate to be filled by Albertans.
