Indeed. Now, my question is this: if a Prime Minister has no obligation to choose from among the names on the list of elected nominees, what is the point of engaging in this kind of exercise all across the Canada? The result is not a certainty when, in actual fact, the names of those who were elected should automatically be placed on the list of senators, as happens for members of Parliament, where the list of elected MPs is exactly the same as the list of people seated in the House of Commons.
In this case, what would be the point of this whole election exercise?
