Canada: NDP pitches referendum on scrapping the Senate, The Vancouver Sun (2011)

This article reports on a possible referendum in Canada. NDP leader, Jack Layton, stated that Canadians should vote in a special referendum to abolish the Senate. The party will present this proposal to the House of Commons on Tuesday, and it will also propose to create a parliamentary committee to review the electoral system. The New Democrats' leader believes that a mixed system of proportional representation and the current one would better reflect how Canadians vote.
