Abstract
This article looks at recent government proposals for Senate reform and focuses on the impact these proposals could have on the representation of francophone minority communities in the Senate. The study looks at the Senate's historical and constitutional context and its role in order to analyze the representation Canada's francophone minority communities have traditionally had in the Senate. Using international comparisons with other federal and multinational states, the article offers insights on the best ways to reform the Senate, if necessary, so that it can continue adequately representing francophone minority communities. Adapted from the source document.
