Small Business Maxime Bernier: As the spending scandal continues to rock Ottawa, the idea of a nation-wide vote on Senate abolition is floating around after comments made earlier this week by Minister of State for Small Business Maxime Bernier, according to CTV. Specifically, Bernier said he would like the Conservatives to put forth the question to all Canadians next spring and Conservative ministers seem to be divided when it comes to the idea of a referendum on abolishing Canadas senate. In an interview with Quebec-based newspaper La Presse on Friday, Bernier suggested it was time to ask Canadians what to do with the Senate: reform it or abolish it. (www.immigrantscanada.com).
