Sub-Committee of the Committee on Procedure and Privileges: Motion.

 

I have advocated the opening up of the university seats for a considerable time. When we spoke about reform during our first day back in session I was amused by a university Senator, who shall remain nameless – he is a former member of our party – who was extremely open-minded and receptive to the idea of opening up the university panels. I distinctly remember, as education spokesperson, drafting a short Private Members' Bill in that regard. The Senator in question took considerable umbrage at the fact that we seemed to be taking away, opening up or making more democratic the university panels.
