Of course, because what Canadian politics needs is more political yes-men and partisan cronies helping to make decisions.
It's a faint hope I know, but please let there be a viable alternative to the CPC/LPC in the next general election.

'Newly minted Conservative Leader Andrew Scheer said that if he is elected prime minister he will abandon the notion of an independent Senate as pursued by Prime Minister Justin Trudeau. '
'"We're just asking the question: what's the harm in doing a national, a comprehensive, security review?"'
'"When it comes to Senate reform, in general, I've always been a believer in an elected Senate and would hope to achieve aspects of Senate reform," Scheer told host Rosemary Barton. '
'That review determined that a full national security review is not necessary, but the Conservatives want Trudeau to order one regardless. ', "Scheer said the Liberal government's deficits were a creation of the Liberal government's own spending, brushing aside Trudeau's suggestion that he inherited an $18-billion deficit from the previous Conservative government."
