Mr. Speaker, I am also pleased to rise in the House to present a petition on behalf of 104 Canadian citizens representing 104 senators calling upon the House of Commons to abolish the Senate. The petition says among other things that the Senate is undemocratic, is not elected, is unaccountable, costs the Canadian people $50 million, and it undermines the role of members of parliament and therefore the Senate should be abolished.
In the House of Commons on February 18th, 1999. See this statement in context.
