| | Canadian House of Commons - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | The Senate is rendered especially powerless by a clause in the Constitution Act, 1867, that permits the Governor General (with the approval of the Queen) to appoint up to eight extra senators. | | | The last major bill defeated in the Senate came in 1991, when a bill passed by the Commons restricting abortion was rejected in the Upper House by a tied vote. | | | This restriction on the power of the Senate is not merely a matter of convention, but is explicitly stated in the Constitution Act, 1867. |
