Senate Reform

On November 16, 2010, in a highly unusual move, the Senate defeated the Climate Change Accountability Act (Bill C-311) after it had been passed by the lower house of Parliament. Given that the Senate consists of 105 unelected members who, strictly speaking, are appointed by the Governor General (although in practice are put in place by the current prime minister) and have no accountability to the electorate, it is unsurprising that this move stirred many Canadians' ire and re-ignited calls for Senate reform. ...

Our Question: Should it be a priority of the federal government to reform the Senate?
