Bill C-10 - An Act to amend the Constitution Act, 1867 (Senate term limits)

30 March 2010 | Senate

Bill C-10 was introduced in the House of Commons by the Minister of State for Democratic Reform and received first reading on 29 March 2010. This is the fourth time since 2006 that the Conservative Party of Canada has introduced a bill to limit Senate terms. Bill C-10 reintroduces what is essentially the same bill as Bill S-7, the previous attempt to place term limits on Senators.
