	Margret Kopala - Article, Ottawa Citizen, May 29, 2004
		First, transforming the Senate into The House of the Federation (1978) was based on recommendations made by the Pepin-Robarts Task Force on Canadian Unity who used the German Bundesrat model and recommended provincial governments appoint senators.
		Some academics argue that giving the Senate nearly equal powers to the House of Commons is incompatible with the principle of responsible government (government is responsible to the elected representatives of the people).
		For Quebec and Alberta, and for the Council of the Federation, this is a significant step with potential for restoring legitimacy and historical integrity to Canada’s Senate.
