recommended specifically that half the members of the Mz seat chamber be appointed by the provinces and that the Up- per House be given more work to do.
The Senate, for example, could take over the functions now performed by royal com-
able senators to make such in- quiries and it would .be far cheaper than appointing outside

provide a pension of $8,000 a year for retired senators, whe draw a $15,000 annual indemnity now while serving.
