Of course this bill does not propose a triple-E Senate or anything of that type. The incremental change we're proposing here falls far short of the kind of change that was reflected in the agreement of the Charlottetown accord. It is a change that respects the basic constitutional cornerstones of the Senate right now and, as a result, doesn't require the provincial consultation that is contemplated by the amending formula right now. It's simply not that scope of change.
I will remind you that there has been change before to the provisions relating to the Constitution. The issue of retirement age has been introduced. That's something that affects the qualifications for membership in the Senate. That's a provision that's covered in the Constitution.
