No, it did not. When we saw the first Bill, S-4, which was introduced in the Senate, we arrived at some idea of what might follow. We were not consulted on the content of the second bill introduced, and that bill in fact confirmed what we feared. We feared that Bill S-4, which dealt with the terms of senators, would not be an isolated piece of legislation but would be part of a more comprehensive operation. In fact, that comprehensive operation was confirmed by the introduction of Bill C-20.
