'David Smith's study is an elegantly written analysis that canvasses the many criticisms and other commentaries on the Senate over the years, and comes out with a careful presentation of reform suggestions that are calculated to preserve the essential valuable characteristics of that body, yet contribute to its improvement. He is careful also to make suggestions that are achievable under the restrictive constraints of the current Canadian constitution. Since Senate reform is an ongoing and still unaccomplished issue in Canada, this study is clearly relevant in the present-day politics of the country.' -- Hugh Thorburn, Professor Emeritus, Department of Political Studies, Queen's University
