Mr. Speaker, in 1990 the prime minister promised to fix the Senate. He said “I want to work for a Senate that is elected”.
In 1993 he said “as prime minister I can take steps to make it happen”.
On Monday we asked the government what it was going to do about the Senate. The Deputy Prime Minister told us that it was not the Liberals' problem.
Is the Deputy Prime Minister right? Is reforming the Senate just another GST promise by this big talking, do nothing prime minister?
