A Senator has ideas:
“I appreciate that he appointed me, but the Senate has a job to do and that job is to review legislation, and if there are things of concern to the Senate, we are to bring it to the government’s attention,” Neufeld told The Vancouver Sun.
“I’m just doing the job I was appointed to do. I wasn’t appointed just to rubber-stamp everything. I don’t believe that.”
Actually you were. Or do you seriously imagine that Stephen Harper, who keeps his elected MPs on the shortest of leashes, appointed you to think independently? The PM has already asked the Supreme Court if he can scrap the whole Senate unilaterally. That should reveal his thinking pretty well.
