Thank you for the Senate documentation.
From what I’ve read in the documents and what seems to have been the issue about ‘RESIDENCY’ claiming primary residency status and it’s expenses are the issue.
NOWHERE in the Senate documents are there grounds it seems to make allowances on more than the primary residence given its status requirement to fulfill Senate appointment criteria.
It would be incorrect and fraudent to claim expenses for residency in Ottawa if you are appointed to the Senate on an out of province basis.
I’m not going to challenge the I believe 100km distance from Ottawa to be able to claim primary residence status in Ontario since I no documents to base an opinion on that qualification.
I believe that open ended rules left to interpretations usually makes situations worst rather then better.
In the end, it will gave to be the Senates own moral/ethical conduct on setting clear rules of engagement to dustance itself from outside interference that will bring a higher value judgement from Canadians as tomit’s purpose and continuance as an important part and process of Canadian Constitutional Laws under the Charter of Rights and Freedoms.
The Supreme Court Justices look to the Senate and its conduct in rendering important and difficult decisions not yet addressed as time goes by due to change.
Only the Senate can decide if it is worthy to continue act as it has in the past or start charting a better course using moral compasses of Conscience that Canadians aspire and respect.
In other words, would her Majesty Queen Elizabeth conduct herself in such a manner as to bring disrpute to the Royal Family in making bad mistakes time and over again ?
If in doubt, consult with her. In my opinion she’s gone to great lengths to do her best and maintain peace and dignity for all her subjects.
