Mr. Speaker, the arrogance of the government has no bounds. It simply refuses to listen to Canadians.
How could any prime minister ignore what has gone on with Senator Thompson in his absenteeism? This Prime Minister did. How could any government ignore the wishes of Albertans who want to elect senators, not appoint them? This government is. How could the Prime Minister and the government so misread the mood of Canadians when it comes to Senate reform?
