Re: Abolition of the Senate

Vernon City Council at a Regular Meeting held July 26th, 1993 adopted
the following resolution:

WHEREAS the Canadian Senate no longer functions as the non-

partisan legislative review body that it is was established
to perform;

AND WHEREAS according to published figures, the Senate costs

Canadian taxpayers $44.6 million per year for approximately
100 working days per year;

NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that The Corporation of the City
of Vernon petition the Federal Government to take the neces-
sary steps to abolish the Senate;

AND FURTHER, that all municipalities in the Province of

British Columbia be requested to support the City of Vernon
