Mr. Speaker, it is my pleasure to present a petition.
In 1996 the province of Alberta is represented by an unelected, unequal and ineffective Senate. The petitioners point out that in the 21st century the electorate of Alberta wishes to be represented by an elected, equal and effective Senate.
They therefore call upon Parliament to affirm its commitment to a triple E Senate and immediately move to permit the selection of senators by the people of Alberta.
