Mr. Speaker, it is a sleepy nation that is watching the Senate study the bill to limit the terms of senators. How much detailed study is needed for a 66 word, 2 paragraph bill? So far, it has been over five days for senators to study each single word in the bill.
Today marks not just the Prime Minister's birthday, it marks 11 months since the bill was introduced for the Senate to bring in term limits.
For 11 months the Liberal leader's unelected, unaccountable senators have done everything they could to block and delay Senate term limits. It is a modest but important measure for accountability in the Senate.
The Liberal senators should listen to Canadians, stop their obstruction and delay, and pass the bill the immediately.
