The Canadian Senate is considering a bill that seeks to lower the voting age from 18 to 16.
Senator Marilou McPhedran, who was appointed to the Senate in 2016 on the recommendation of Liberal Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, has introduced Bill S-201. The bill is currently in its second of three readings in the senate.
The move to lower the voting age has been pushed with varying degrees of effort by the political left in in both Canada and abroad in recent years.
