Senate: Senate Reform

Senate reform: "We need to do the Senate reforms when we are not under the gun like we are now and do knee-jerk things," said Don Plett, who welcomes more transparency in how the Senate operates, according to CBC. Activities in the Upper Chamber are currently under great scrutiny as several senators are being investigated for improper expense claims and A Manitoba Conservative senator says serious Senate reform is needed but now might not be the time to do it. "I don't think that benefits any of us. I think we need to do them slowly and deliberately and we need to clearly win back the confidence of the Canadian public." (www.immigrantscanada.com).
