Let's all hold our breath.

The unelected , unaccountable and undemocratic Senate will make Harper's terror bill more in tune with the views of hundreds of experts, ex-PMs, etc who wanted greater parliamentary oversight of security and greater assurance that civil liberties and the rule of law would not be damaged by the unclear legislation. http://www.canada.com/News/politics/Senate+starts+review+maligned+security+legislation/10932944/story.html


Yes, or Senators will not have performed their role

Canada's first Prime Minister, Sir John A. Macdonald, called the Senate a place of "sober second thought."Top of page



Q: What does the Senate do?
A: One of the most important jobs of the Senate is to help make the laws that we live by.

The Senate carefully examines bills, which are proposed laws, to make certain that they are the best they can be. The bills are studied to find out how they might affect the daily lives of Canadians. Changes are suggested to improve them; some bills may even be rejected. http://www.parl.gc.ca/About/Senate/FAQJuniorVersion/brochure-e.htm#q2
