The Supreme Court of Canada unanimously decided that the majority of changes to the Senate contemplated in a direct reference from the federal government could only be achieved through Constitutional amendments with substantial federal-provincial consensus, while Senate abolition required unanimous consent of the Senate, the House of Commons, and the legislative assemblies of all provinces.
