Mr. Speaker, I appreciated the comments and speech made by my colleague. I would like to read a brief remark made by Senator Bert Brown:
In his comments he said:
Those of us who came to the Red Chamber were there to get a majority vote for reform.
Then he went on to say:
Every Senator in this caucus needs to decide where their loyalty should be and must be.
He sent this letter to several other senators.
I listened to the hon. member's speech and I think he is on the right track. Like us, he is in favour of abolishing the Senate. Can the hon. member tell us whether the Senate is truly impartial and a forum for sober second thought concerning the decisions made by the House? I would like the hon. member to respond to that. Is the Senate truly an impartial chamber?
