| Description | One day after Quebec threatened court action to block proposed Senate reform, Ontario is telling the federal government to abolish the upper chamber.
Prime Minister Stephen Harper is expected to introduce bills to impose term limits on senators and to allow provinces to elect nominees who would be appointed to the Senate.
Premier Dalton McGuinty says he's talked with other premiers and believes the best option is to simply get rid of the Senate altogether.
He says to reform it in any substantive way "is just not possible."
