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.

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.
