Canadian Senate

The Canadian Senate is the upper house of Canada’s Parliament, which also includes the House of Commons. Senators are appointed, not elected, and serve to represent regions and interests across Canada. Their main role is to review and suggest changes to legislation proposed by the House of Commons, providing a check on government decisions. The Senate also conducts investigations and studies on various issues. Senators typically serve until they are 75 years old, and their appointments are made by the Prime Minister, which can lead to a perception of political bias. Overall, the Senate aims to improve Canada’s legislative process.
