Mr. Speaker, we have now been working together in this House since September and I must say it has been a pleasure working with everyone here over this period of time.
But as I say this on what appears to be our last day in this House before a three month recess, still nothing has been done about Senate reform. The Reform Party has remained committed to the idea of a triple E Senate and will continue to push for Senate reform.
The Prime Minister said that he is in favour of Senate reform, but yet just last night he snuck in five new senators. Shame. A whole session has gone by and still the Prime Minister has done nothing on the matter.
The vast majority of Canadians want Senate reform and want to be able to have a say in who represents them in the upper chamber, no matter how popular they may be. Canadians must have a voice.
Mr. Speaker, I think you will agree that it is time for the government to start listening to Canadians and to get real.
