Saskatchewan Premier Brad Wall mentioned in a statement released on Friday that he thinks abolishing Canada’s Senate is a much viable solution rather than reforming it, while adding that his Sask. Party government is considering adding this idea to its official agenda.  He alleged that “I don’t think reform is possible. I think abolition is also difficult, but it’s more doable than reform. And I think it’s reflective of what Canadians are saying.”

Wall clarified that officially Sask. Party policy still recommends reformation of the Senate, and not its abolishment, though it was pointed out that this policy might be changed in the near future. He explained that in light of recent expense scandals that have erupted from the red chambers, at least three constituency associations have pushed for indicating they want the Sask. Party to revisit its policy. Wall mentioned that “they may want us to do that more quickly because of the recent events and if they do, we have mechanisms in our party constitution to do that and the policy might change.”

The premier elaborated point of view, asserting that tasks of Senate to represent provinces is currently being well-handled by the provincial governments themselves. He alleged that “we could possibly save a lot of money and a lot of time and oxygen, based on what we’ve seen in the last little while, were there not a Senate at all.” He indicated that leaders across the country are waiting for the Supreme Court to rule on what exactly can be done.
