Statement from Premier Brad Wall on Auditor General's Report

Released on June 9, 2015

Today's report just reinforces Saskatchewan's position that the Senate should be abolished.  If the Senate was necessary to the proper functioning of Canadian democracy, I would say clean it up and get it working properly.  But it isn't necessary and it isn't making any sort of a positive contribution.

I Iike to restore old cars., but that's only worth doing if, when you get finished, the car is going to run properly and it's at least worth the money you put into it.  The Senate is never going to run properly and it's never going to be worth the money we put into it.  So it should be scrapped.

I'm not going to actively campaign for the Senate to be abolished.  Everyone knows Saskatchewan's position.  I would like to see other provinces come on board but if they don't, even in light of this latest mess, then it's not really worth the effort to try to change their minds.
