Mr. Speaker, I have a petition signed by a number of people from Saskatchewan which states that the Senate of Canada is undemocratic, unelected and unaccountable, that it costs the taxpayers some $50 million per year, and that the Senate undermines the work of the elected members of parliament who sit in the House of Commons.
Therefore the petitioners are calling upon us to begin measures aimed at the abolition of the Senate. It is a good idea.
