| | Canadian Senate - LearnThis.Info Enclyclopedia |
| | In 1989-1990, the Senate insisted on amendments to an unemployment insurance bill that the Commons rejected; the Senate eventually passed the bill as submitted by the Commons. | | | The Senate's main work is done in its committees, where it goes over bills clause by clause and hears evidence, often voluminous, from groups and individuals who would be affected by the particular bill under review. | | | The Senate was thus given the power to overturn many types of legislation introduced by the Commons and also to delay any changes to the constitution, thus preventing the Commons from committing any rash actions. |

| | Senators who are appointed in a Quebec Senate division must hold the $4,000 property requirement inside that division. | | | Prior to 1961, senators had a lot more "constituency work" because divorce was in the purview of Parliament. | | | While constituency offices are rare, all senators maintain an office on Parliament Hill. |

| | The Canadian Senate In Focus |
| | Senators are appointed to age 75, and thus need not be concerned about being re-appointed, nor about seeking the support of their political parties so that they may be re-elected. | | | This experience was brief, as she was summoned to the Senate in May 1953. | | | In the 1970s, the practice of pre-study of bills before they reached the Senate virtually eliminated the need for amendments when bills reached the Senate, as the amendments were often taken care of while the bills were still in the Commons. |

| | The Canadian Senate - Political Forums |
| | Until the Senate is comprised of elected individuals, you will have a hard time convincing most Canadian's that individual's appointed by the governing party, will represent anyone except those that appointed them to their positions. | | | It is usually on proposals for amendments to proposed legislation that is often hurried and poorly drafted by a Commons that has neither the time or the expertise available to the Senate. | | | The same can be said for our Supreme Court Justices, they also should be elected to serve specific terms, at least they would be accountable to someone for any decision's they make. |

| | Canadian Senate report needs action |
| | The Senate said marijuana should be legalized, regulated and taxed in Canada, citing the enormous damage done by the laws that currently make it a criminal offence to possess it. | | | As a result, Canadian taxpayers will continue to shell out the estimated $700 million to $1 billion in policing and court costs to investigate, arrest and prosecute people who choose to utilize a substance that is far less dangerous than either alcohol or tobacco, both of which are fully legal. | | | "Canadians from every walk of life told us loud and clear that we should not be imposing criminal records on users or unduly prohibiting personal use of cannabis," the Senate report said. |

| | "Domestic and international experts and Canadians from every walk of life told us loud and clear that we should not be imposing criminal records on users or unduly prohibiting personal use of cannabis," Nolin said. | | | The government should give amnesty to anyone convicted of marijuana possession under current or past legislation and erase their records, Nolin said. | | | The nation should seek amendments to U.N. conventions and treaties governing illegal drugs and back the development of a Drugs and Dependency Monitoring Agency for the Americas. |
