Mr. Speaker, it is clear that the government is circling the wagons to defend the Senate's cozy entitlements.
The government is deliberately telescoping the Constitution's archaic property qualifications onto residence requirements.
On February 9, retired Senator Lowell Murray stated that if any senator files an income return in a province that he or she is not representing in the Senate, “Then they are finished”. His is a respected voice. Why is this Conservative government so deceitfully distorting its responsibility to uphold the Constitution?
