Mr. Speaker, it is not that hard to admit to a major blunder. They knew that guy had a shady past, but they appointed him to the Senate anyway. The Conservatives carry on digging into their bottomless pit of hypocrisy. The Prime Minister called the Senate a “relic of the 19th century”, but then he changed his tune and appointed more senators than Mulroney did. Taxpayers are now on the hook for millions so that the Prime Minister's friends and generous Conservative Party supporters can sit pretty for the rest of their lives.
Why not just abolish this archaic, undemocratic institution that is about as obsolete as phonographs and street lamp lighters?
