 Canadian Senate - definition of Canadian Senate in Encyclopedia
The presiding officer of the body is the Speaker of the Canadian Senate who is appointed by the Governor General of Canada on the advice of the Prime Minister.
Some Western Canadians such as Preston Manning propose the creation of a Triple-E Senate (for "Elected, Equal and Effective") modelled on the United States Senate in which Senators would be elected with each province being equally represented.
The ability of senators to represent their regions is also muted by the appointive process where a prime minister can choose senators that will best reflect her or his centralizing views.
