Denis Lebel: Christian Paradis

Christian Paradis: The prime minister effectively thumbed his nose at the scandal-plagued upper house, pointedly refusing to include the government's Senate leader in his cabinet line-up, according to CTV. Other losers in Monday's shuffle included Julian Fantino, Christian Paradis and Denis Lebel, who were demoted, and Peter Kent, Gordon O'Connor and Steven Fletcher, who were unceremoniously dumped from cabinet altogether and OTTAWA -- Among the ministers demoted or fired in Stephen Harper's cabinet overhaul, add the Senate to the list of big losers. Save for a few months in 1926, it's the only time in Canadian history that there's been no Senate representative in cabinet. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
