Mr. Speaker, I never proposed the abolition of the Senate. I have proposed some reforms to the Senate and we voted for some reforms to the Senate.
I met the premiers many times and none of them have asked me to make a motion to abolish the Senate. We need to reform it. We tried to reform it. We tried to make it elected, and of course the Reform Party was opposed.
He wants to abolish it. When there is a very large consensus we might act, but at this moment what is important is that the Senate is doing its job and doing it well.
