The Government of Canada remains committed to reforming the Senate, restoring public trust, and bringing an end to partisanship in the appointments process.
| Privy Council Office | backgrounders
Why did the Government introduce a new, independent Senate appointment process? During the election campaign in 2015, we made a commitment to create a new, non-partisan, merit based process for Senate appointments in order to end the partisan nature of the Senate, which has affected its reputation and effectiveness over the years. While recognizing the good work of many past and current senators, Canadians have been clear that the Senate needs to change. It's a promise made, and a promise kept.
