The Senate has been delaying that bill for a year and finding ways to avoid any kind of modest change to its own regime, and its members are creating an advertisement for exactly the position of my friend from the NDP, which is that not only do they lack the legitimacy that Canadians wish to see them have, they lack the legitimacy to even exist if that is how they are going to conduct themselves and utilize their powers.
Le Sénat retarde ce projet de loi depuis un an et trouve des façons d'éviter tout changement, aussi modeste soit-il, à son régime actuel. Par leur comportement, les sénateurs renforcent la position exprimée par mon collègue du NPD.
