Mr. Speaker, the Senate does not even believe in having television in its own house.
Instead of giving the democratically elected House of Commons the ability to decide if an e-voting pilot project is worthwhile, the Minister of State for Democratic Reform has handed a veto to the unelected, undemocratic Senate.
It is not as if Elections Canada would be able to unilaterally change how voting works. That is a power the minister reserves for himself.
Why is the minister hell bent on giving this veto power to the unelected, undemocratic Senate?
