The elder Trudeau appointed Kenny to the Senate in the spring of 1984 after he spent a decade as a special adviser and assistant principal secretary in the Prime Minister's Office.
The ensuring 34 years saw Kenny focus on military and security issues, becoming an outspoken critic of cuts to defence spending.
But his tenure was marked by testy exchanges when he headed the Senate's defence committee, the most memorable of which live online in videos capturing political bickering between Kenny and fellow senators.
More recently, questions were raised about his conduct in relation to the workers in his office. In 2014, a Senate-appointed investigator cleared Kenny on allegations of sexually and verbally harassing his office staff.
Two years ago, Kenny repaid more than $30,000 in expenses that were deemed unjustified after they were flagged in an auditor general's report on Senate spending.
