First off the Senate is not the run all be all of Canada in fact it is obsolete most of the time. It's the House of Commons that has more power in the first place. Also does she not realize that the Senators who do nothing in the first place are appointed by the Governer General at the consent of the PM if Harper wants he can clean the house and fill it with his buddies instead of all of Martins friends getting those useless pay checks...........

Did she say that this was specifically because of the Senate, or because 'they don't have enough seats'. She might be referring to the fact that a minority Conservative government will have more difficulty pushing through legislation, as it will require compromises with other parties.
Unless she referred to the Senate. You didn't put that in your 'quote' of her though, so its not clear.
