Description
A lawyer, Normand Grimard was appointed to the Senate in 1990. He is author of L'indispensable Senat: Defense d'une institution mal aimee, Editions vent d'ouest, Hull. The Conservatives formed a majority in the Senate before February 1, 1996. The resignation of Conservative Senator John Sylvain and his replacement by Liberal Shirley Maheu then reversed the proportions. At the time of writing, the political make-up of the Senate is as follows: 51 Liberals, 50 Conservatives and three independents, for a total of 104 senators. While a majority of one or even several votes in the Senate does not necessarily mean a nerve-wracking balancing act, the possibility of defeat is always there, especially in important votes on matters of principle. Party discipline can always break down. This article looks at some recent developments in the Senate and considers whether Senate reform should be put back on the political agenda.
