Tory senator urges colleagues to be less partisan

[CHIMO]

A long-serving Conservative senator is calling for his colleagues to be less partisan in the Upper Chamber just days after Justin Trudeau declared all Liberal senators were independent.

Senator Pierre Claude Nolin warns his colleagues they cannot be partisan at all costs.

“It’s easier for a senator to do his job if he makes decisions less based on partisanship,” Nolin said in a speech to the Senate on Tuesday. “Free choice for everyone is often a better guide.”

The conclusion of Nolin’s remarks was greeted with broad applause. Trudeau astonished the 32 senators under his direction last week by banning them from his national Liberal caucus and from formal campaign roles without any notice or discussion.
