Right now Canada's federal system does not represent minorities, or regions outside of Ontario and Quebec very well. Ontario has a history of "Rep by Pop" which is basically a claim that minorities or rather their concerns, should be subservient to the majority.

Which would be OK except Canada is a Confederation with many regions, cultures, histories and members, all of them with less people than Ontario and Quebec.

The Senate could be used to give equal power to all members of Confederation and make the Confederation more sustainable.

Of course that would require those currently winning from Confederation to give up their special status and power, and why would they do that?
