Canada's upper house has adopted a new set of rules that the Liberal government says will further entrench its independence, as the dominos from Prime Minister Justin Trudeau's Senate reforms continue to fall.But the Conservatives -- whose numbers have dwindled down to just 13 seats -- say the government is trying to weaken their position in the Senate and hamstring future Tory governments.

And it's only fair for larger groups to have equal ability to fulfil their duties as senators, said Sen. Pierre Dalphond.
