I will try to use it wisely.

My last comment has to do with the letter of the Constitution. Paragraph 42(1)(b) talks about the method of selecting senators, not the method of appointing senators. I think that what the federal Parliament does not have the authority to do goes beyond the specific amendment to section 24, it has to do with the entire process regarding the selection of senators. That is what is stated in paragraph 42(1)(b).

That is all I wanted to say.
