Payne backs voluntary province elected senators plan in Canada
The Harper government introduces a voluntary framework allowing provinces to elect their own senators without constitutional amendments. Alberta already used a provincial model, with aims to appoint elected nominees by prime ministers, while Payne frames this as a step toward a triple E Senate. Additional bills propose eight year term limits for appointed senators.
