Thank you very much, Madam Chair.

I would like to thank Senator Brown and congratulate him for his lifelong work, and especially his work in the last 20 years, in promoting an elected Senate. I am sure that if Quebec one day gets on board and elects senators, we will one day see a member, or former member, of the Bloc elected to the Senate.

Senator, do you feel a lot of reluctance from your Senate colleagues to an elected Senate at the moment?
