One would suppose he would have been a Senator-in-waiting until 2008, why the need to get elected in 2004? It would make sense to have an election to replace Morton, as he stepped down I suppose from his "Senator in waiting" position to run for the legislature, but Bert had time left on his alleged term.

My mistake. In Alberta, the terms of the Senate election, as written by your duly elected provincial government, are that Senate terms expire after 6 years.
