There is a diversity of views among the provinces. You're quite right that those views and positions of the provinces tend to change following changes in election. There are a number of provinces obviously that are quite open to consultation. The Government of Nova Scotia has indicated it. The Government of Alberta actually has a law that provides for it already. A number of provinces have indicated the desire for abolition. Those include British Columbia and Manitoba, for example. The position of the others tends to be mostly in a category that they want to see the Senate change, but it needs consultation and they're not clear on what that change should be.
If you get the essence of what we're talking about here, this is consultation. I'm not familiar with any government that takes the position that a purely appointed body is preferential to a body that has a democratic element to it. I stand to be corrected on that, but that is my reading of the positions of the provinces thus far. Most have provided comments, obviously, but there have been recent changes of government and we are awaiting newer comments.
