Strongly agree

Elect, and require members to be non-partisan

The Liberal Party has shown a strong commitment to reducing partisanship in the Senate. In 2014, Justin Trudeau removed all Liberal Senators from the party's parliamentary caucus, and the creation of the Independent Advisory Board for Senate Appointments in 2016 aimed to make the appointment process more merit-based and less partisan. While they have not explicitly called for elected Senators to be non-partisan, their actions align with this goal.

Agree

Elect

The Liberal Party has expressed interest in Senate reform, including the idea of electing Senators. However, their focus has been more on creating a non-partisan appointment process rather than direct elections. In 2014, Liberal leader Justin Trudeau removed all Liberal Senators from the party's parliamentary caucus to promote independence and reduce partisanship.

Agree

Elect, Senators that are elected are less prone to corruption

While the Liberal Party has not explicitly advocated for electing Senators to reduce corruption, they have taken steps to promote transparency and reduce partisanship in the Senate. The creation of the Independent Advisory Board for Senate Appointments in 2016 aimed to make the appointment process more merit-based and less partisan, which could indirectly address concerns about corruption.

Abolish, the recent corruption scandals have proven that any unelected body of government is detrimental towards democracy
