Report of the Special Senate Committee on Senate Modernization ; [1st report, 42nd Parliament, 1st session] Issued also in French under title: La modernisation du Sénat : aller de l'avant. Partie I. Cover title. "October 2016." Includes bibliographical references. “The Senate is evolving but its core responsibilities remain unchanged. Legislative oversight, independent thought, protecting individual rights and freedoms, and givingvoice to Canadians at home and abroad — as well as those underrepresented in Parliament — remain essential features of the Senate. As complex public policy issues divide the country’s elected leaders, Canadians more than ever need senators’ capacity for sober second thought and evidence-based policy analysis. To help the Senate fulfil these constitutionally-defined roles and to adapt to new realities, members of the Special Senate Committee on Senate Modernization have spent months studying how the Senate works and how it could improve. This report shows how the Senate can act as an exemplary legislature in the 21st century”--Executive summary, p. iii. gccst Senate gccst Reform McInnis, Thomas Johnson.
