Nvoidtnt Over`ai, ant bupilcatiur Dlsstinc Soviet, In the reformed Parliament, the Senate would reflect the equality ot the provinces while the House of Commons would be based more on the pnnciple of representation by population. As well. various provinces would be assured a minimum amount of seats in the House of Commons The proposed Senate would be made up of six elected senators from each province and one from each territory. Additional seats would provide representation for Aboriginal peoples. The reformed Senates powers should significantly increase the role of the elected Senators in the policy process. The proposals recognize that Aboriginal peoples have an inherent right 10 self-government and that the Constitution should enable them to develop self-governritent arrangements and to taketheir place irrihe Cartadier federation. The proposals recognize Aboriginal governments as one of the three constitutionally recognized orders of government in Canada. In addition, the proposals provide for a negotiation process between Aboriginal leaders and provincial and federal governments to put this right into effect. The recognition of the inherent right would not create any new rights to land. nor dilute existing treaty rights Now that Canada's federal, provincial. territorial and Aboriginal leaders have reached a consensus, it is the right of all Canadians to understand the new proposals.
