Mr. Speaker, the Prime Minister and our government remain committed to reforming the Senate to reflect the values we as Canadians have in the 21st century.
That is why this government has introduced legislation that would limit Senate terms from the current term of up to 45 years to one single term of eight years.
We believe that Canadians support this legislation overwhelmingly. We have also introduced legislation to encourage provinces to have elections.
Unlike the opposition coalition, our government believes that all parliamentarians should be elected and accountable.
