Mr. Speaker,
I met a man one sunny day An executive, I'm sad to say Who lost his job—a downsizing trend He was devastated—was this the end?
It's too bad I said to his face Because he was capable to manage any place What a great job he could really do In Canada's Senate for me and you.
But he wasn't qualified—I'm sad to say He wasn't a Liberal in any way. In fact, he had no affiliation Just an outstanding Executive his only station.
Why is it Liberals will throw him to the dogs Yet turn all their buddies into political hogs? Is paying off favours and providing the carrot Better than experience, skills, qualifications or merit?
Some day a new Senate will be the big story It won't include some Liberal or Tory It will include people like the man I met And they will be competent and objective I bet.
