exactly! When working as intended, that sober second thought role has significant opportunity to review and, as appropriate, improve upon the HOC intended legislation. It was never intended to have the Senate become a partisan impediment!
these 2 guys keep nattering on about democracy... the democratic vote electing/nominating Senators. Of course that's a sham as shown by the Alberta history/results where there exists no official party attachments towards selecting party aligned candidates to run for election. I emphasize "official" as the Alberta results clearly show an alignment of past elected/nominated candidates with strong/direct attachment to Conservative parties (be that Reform, PC or UCP). This is what member wilber describes as independent and democratic! Again, look no further than the short bio I provided for what is said to be one of the current leading candidates:
Bullshit, plenty of them have party attachments. The mere fact that they are appointed by a partisan prime minister gives them a party attachment.
The so called Independent Advisory board are government appointees, they aren't independent at all.
Aside from Labelle who had served in government under both parties, of the two other permanent members of the so called "independent" advisory committee, one is an ex Liberal staffer and the other is an ex deputy attorney general of a Liberal provincial government. All Ontarians. No doubt the two provincial representatives will be similar choices.
This is all about control and you know it.
