Mr. Speaker, of course, here is the dodge from the leader of the NDP. He does not want to have an elected Senate, so he tries to turn it over and says “get the provinces to do it” so that he can hide behind the various premiers, knowing it is not going to happen.
The reality is this: we know that what he really wants. The reason the NDP members have blocked this piece of legislation 17 times in the House is that they do not want elected senators because they want to appoint their own. Guess what? The people of Canada are never going to give them that chance.
