New Research Blog post: The OTHER news about the senate
Posting Date(s)
The Quebec Court of Appeal is expected to release a ruling tomorrow in a case about the future of the Senate of Canada. The government of Quebec has challenged the federal government's attempt to make what some have called an end-run around the Constitution by reforming the senate through ordinary legislation. The court's ruling will take into account the expert testimony of several witnesses, including Dr. Don Desserud, professor of political science at UPEI.
Watch an interview about the case with Dr. Desserud at the UPEI Research Blog: http://research.upei.ca/blogs/2013/10/23/other-news-about-senate
