November I: Job Descriptions and Appointment Panel

november i: These issues have rubbed salt into public disenchantment with a 150-year-old institution and Senators who are still working with 150-year-old job descriptions, according to Toronto Star. The stakes are high because we are talking about Canadians' confidence in one of the country's most important democratic institutions. Adrian Wyld / THE CANADIAN PRESS By Tony Dean Mon., April 3, 2017 Canada's Senate has taken some knocks over the past few years and, as recent events show, it still is. But there are signs of a brighter future for the red chamber. In November 2016 I was appointed to the Senate after being nominated by Prime Minister Justin Trudeau based on recommendations from an independent appointment panel. Without this a number of recent recruits, including me, would not have taken the job. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
