OTTAWA Two senators are seeking disciplinary measures against one another in what boils down to a clash between the new and old guards in the Senate.
The dispute is between Sen. Pierre Dalphond, one of the new, more independent, less partisan senators, and Sen. Don Plett, leader of the Conservative Senate caucus, the last remaining unabashedly partisan group in the upper house.
It revolves around Dalphond’s accusation last month that Plett was preventing the launch of a long-awaited and legally required parliamentary review of Canada’s medically assisted dying regime.
