Welcome

Thank you for visiting my website.

After twenty-three years as a senator, I announced in the Chamber that I will be retiring from the Senate on June 30th of this year. I have taken pride in my role as a Senator and in representing the people of Alberta. Being given the opportunity to assist in making the lives of Canadians better has been a true privilege.
 

Throughout this website, I hope to give you the opportunity to read various speeches I have given in and out of the Senate Chamber, as well as see some of the work I do in committees, particularly regarding Senate Reform. For those of you who are interested in this subject, you will find below a link to my recent Discussion Paper Renewing the Senate of Canada: A Two-Phase Proposal.
 

You may also connect to links that will allow you to see my archived sites from my times as Speaker of the Senate and Leader of the Opposition in the Senate.
 

Again, thank you for visiting my site. If I may assist you in any way, please do not hesitate to contact me.
