For the past six years, the new cohort of MPP students at the Munk School of Global Affairs and Public Policy makes a three-day trip to Ottawa in early fall. This year, a group of students inspired by their visit and troubled by the Canadian sentiment around the usefulness of the Canadian Senate, set out to capture its current role in the Canadian governance system. In collaboration with Senator Donna Dasko, the students developed an info-graphic which presents the role of the Canadian Senate post changes implemented by the 42^nd parliament.
