Best Answer

The Canadian Senate's primary responsibility is the review and approval of bills passed by the House of Commons. Traditionally, the Senate has been termed the place of "sober second thought". Senators are not elected, and so in theory are able to consider legislation without worrying about reelection. In practice, though, the Senate usually accedes to the will of Parliament.
