Mr. Speaker, today's Senate appointments show that the Prime Minister cannot be trusted. It is clear that his promises to fix the democratic deficit were a pathetic sham, as he continues the same old Liberal patronage racket, showing contempt for the democratic process. Today he appointed three hand-picked senators from Alberta, deliberately ignoring the three elected candidates who were elected by the people of Alberta to represent them.
Why is this Prime Minister so arrogant that he thinks he knows better than the people of Alberta who should represent them in this Parliament?
