Studying things is basically the modern canadian senate's job. Just because they do not use their legeslative power much doesn't mean they do nothing.
The system is not without flaws, but i generally like the idea of having former gov big-wigs studying things and making reccomendations. They have the experience to know what is up, but also aren't any more beholden to party politics.
