Description
In a speech to the Senate in 1982 Eugene Forsey noted that "almost from the morrow of Confederation, there has been talk of Senate reform, so much so that when, in 1925, Prime Minister Mackenzie King put into his election platform a characteristically vague promise on the subject, Arthur Meighen, the Conservative leader, commented scornfully: `So that old bird is to be provided with wooden wings and told to fly again!'" This article looks at the question of Senate Reform and suggests how reform can best be approached over the next few years.
