Mr. Speaker, back in 1968, Quebec Premier Daniel Johnson abolished the provincial equivalent of the Senate, the legislative council. Is Quebec worse off today because of the elimination of that council 26 years ago? Quite the contrary. The National Assembly in Quebec is much
more effective. The legislative process is shorter. Is it not true that the $65 million we spend for the Senate would be a great help to create jobs? I would like to hear your views, Mr. Speaker.
