Three Senators Suspended from Upper Chamber

A sigh of relief.

Kenora MP Greg Rickford is pleased that the government has taken action and suspended Patrick Brazeau,  Mike Duffy and Pamela Wallin without pay for up to 2-years.

Rickford says now they can talk about Senate reform, and hopes the opposition parties to get on side with what they have been talking about and working through legislation that would hold the senate more accountable.

While Duffy, Brazeau and Wallin have been ousted from the Senate, they will be able to keep their
health benefits.
