In the case of Senator Duffy, he clearly maintains a residence in the province and has deep roots in that province.
The difficulty, though, with the NDP members is that they come here talking about changing the Senate in meaningful ways. We had a proposal to do it; they have none and they continue to have none.

The NDP members have no plan and they will not tell Canadians what they will do.
