The Senate of Canada is the upper house of its parliamentary
system. It is an appointed legislative chamber that has been
frequently derided for its apparent lack of effective activity, its
failure to represent Canada's federal system, and the perceived
lack of accountability among its members. Reform of the Senate
persists as one of the most contentious issues in the country.
Typical reform proposals begin with the assumption that it must
become an elected body that primarily represents Canada's provinces
and can serve as an effective check on the federal government and
the House of Commons. This book challenges those assumptions
through a thorough analysis that places the Senate within the
context of other parliamentary upper houses. It presents a
hypothetical constitutional amendment and a proposal for
non-constitutional reform that are based upon alternative models
derived from that broader context. The book ultimately recommends a
Senate that remains unelected but with a more expansive appointment
process that more appropriately reflects the optimal role of a
parliamentary upper house as well as the diversity, regional
aspirations, and political principles of Canadian democracy.
