I don't find anyone arguing that the status quo is appropriate. I stand to be corrected, but that's my reading on the positions. All of them think that some change should occur.
What's significant is that we are not looking at changes that would, for example, affect the relative levels of representation of the provinces—the say they have. Some provinces, for example, would prefer to see the provincial government have a direct say in who represents in the Senate. We think it's better to ask the people of that province. That does the trick and is more democratic. To the extent that there's a desire to see the Senate as a representative body of the regions, it ensures that the people of those regions or provinces have an opportunity to say who they want to represent them.
