I just wanted to point out that whether you agree or disagree its another one of Harpers broken promises. The legislation to have elected senators died with the end of parliament last time around for the election. That election was Harpers doing...and now of course he is appointing senators. One could assume that actions speak louder than words here!
A Triple E senate is a complete waste of time and energy. We already have an elected house of representatives and all the equality adds to this is more emphasis on regional differences.
The Senate is fine the way it is. It is supposed to be a chamber of sober second thought and that is the main purpose it now serves.
