Alberta pushes province appointed Senate reform plan
Alberta proposes a greatly strengthened provincially appointed Senate to shift representation from Ontario and Quebec to the West. The 28 page plan, A New Federalism for Canada, would have premiers appoint senators and give the chamber veto over emergencies, federal acts affecting provincial jurisdiction, and ratification of treaties. It calls for reform within the decade and possible provincial touring to gauge opinion.
