Dion's version is to extend the terms from eight years to 10 or 12 years, therefore stopping the occasional sweep from creating a pseudo-monopoly of the governmental branch.But of course, to achieve all he wants to achieve, which he has hidden well so far, he'd need a mirror-image chamber of sober thought.The Senate has its own time frame to discuss and percolate on these matters.
