The bill, it seems to me, has more logic in terms of an elected Senate: Renewable terms, shorter terms; the kinds of things that you associate with elections — perhaps less so in terms of its implications for an appointed chamber, which is what we are stuck with for the foreseeable future.
Le projet de loi, il me semble, est plus logique si l'on parle d'un Sénat élu : mandat renouvelable, mandat plus court, ce que vous associez à des élections.
