Mr. Speaker, I would like to thank my colleague for his speech tonight on the Senate. I am hearing conflicting messages from the Conservative member about the other messages from his party and his Prime Minister. The Parliamentary Secretary to the Prime Minister is sending different messages. I would remind the hon. member that in 2004, the Prime Minister said, “I will not name appointed people to the Senate”.
In the House of Commons on June 10th, 2014. See this statement in context.
