The Triple-E Senate (a mnemonic contrived acronym for equal, elected, and effective) is a proposed reform of the Canadian Senate, calling for senators to be elected to exercise effective powers in numbers equally representative of each province. This is in contrast to the present arrangement wherein individuals are appointed to the Senate by the Governor General, on the advice of the Prime Minister after which they generally do not interfere with the workings of the Lower House. The number of senators allotted to each province, as set out in the constitution, is neither equal nor proportional.

has abstract	The Triple-E Senate (a mnemonic contrived acronym for equal, elected, and effective) is a proposed reform of the Canadian Senate, calling for senators to be elected to exercise effective powers in numbers equally representative of each province. This is in contrast to the present arrangement wherein individuals are appointed to the Senate by the Governor General, on the advice of the Prime Minister after which they generally do not interfere with the workings of the Lower House. The number of senators allotted to each province, as set out in the constitution, is neither equal nor proportional. A Westminster style upper chamber that already possesses characteristics similar to the proposed Triple-E Senate is the Australian Senate, which has stood as such since Australian federation in 1901. The phrase "triple-E Senate" was coined by Alberta Report editor and conservative commentator Ted Byfield in a column for the Report titled "A triple-E plan to make Ottawa ours, not theirs". His son Link Byfield was once a candidate to be a Senator for Alberta. (en)
