The argument then went on that this convention would cause this to be a de facto power of appointment being given to the people and that would mean the Governor General would lose his independent ability to appoint the senators and therefore it would be unconstitutional.
D'après cet argument, cette convention donnerait aux gens, dans les faits, un pouvoir de nomination qui aurait pour effet d'enlever au Gouverneur général la possibilité de nommer les sénateurs de façon indépendante.
