Over the past 10 years, the Senate has witnessed extraordinary
change — namely a radical overhaul to do away with formal
partisanship. The driver behind that? Former prime minister
Justin Trudeau. But now that he’s gone, will those changes stick?

In a special documentary edition of The House, guest host J.P.
Tasker carves out some frank and revealing conversations with
Senators Andrew Cardozo, Marc Gold, Leo Housakos, Paul Prosper,
Paula Simons and Pamela Wallin about their place of work.

Professor and author Jonathan Malloy also weighs in on
representation in the Senate and whether reform is realistic,
while Government House Leader Steven MacKinnon explains the new
government’s strategy when it comes to dealing with the chamber
of sober second thought.
