Time for Senate to be bold, innovative in Canada’s parliamentary democracy

It's time to abrogate the Senate’s power to defeat legislation and replace it with a suspensive veto—i.e., the power to delay passage of legislation for a defined period. Such a suspensive veto does not in fact require a constitutional amendment and it is something that could be implemented today through the adoption of a motion by the Senate. There is much that could be done if Senators, in their new, independent role, were interested.
