reviewing legislation and representing the provinces in parliament.
Seriously, if every province had the same about of senators, I think it would reduce the animosity the western ones feel towards Ontario, The only problem is, of course, Ontario (and Quebec).
Anyway. It's a good idea to have a senate, if just to review legislation and to ensure that there is some kind of check on the government, but it should be wholly elected.
Makes sense. Either way, they should make it elected a la the US or Australian ones, or just get rid of it.
