Document Summary

The question on triple e senate will pertain to how it is elected/ how the people react to/it"s advantages/disadvantages. Senate reform has been a relevant issue since the late 1800s and remains to be one today. Triple e refers to a type of senate reform based on equal, elected, and effective . This essentially means having equal numbers of senators per province, having them being elected by provincial electorates rather than appointed by the. Governor general, and to have them possess effective legislator power, at least enough to counteract any initiatives brought forth by the house of commons that could be considered harmful to the province or regions. Like with any proposal there is usually a case for and against the idea, so both sides will be represented. The first side that will be presented will be the case for senate reform. The first argument in favour of it is that with the current system there is less equality.
