Sir John A. Macdonald envisioned the Senate as a body that would provide regional representation and act as a chamber of sober second thought. He believed it would serve to review and refine legislation passed by the House of Commons, ensuring that diverse regional interests were considered in the legislative process. Macdonald intended the Senate to function as a stabilizing force in Canadian governance, balancing the more populist tendencies of the elected House.
