On July 27, 2015, an open letter to the Department of Justice was sent proposing to resolve the issues in the Federal Court judicial review proceeding and related appeal before the Federal Court of Appeal by inviting the Prime Minister to submit the legality of his recently announced moratorium on Senate appointments to the Supreme Court of Canada by way of a reference proceeding.
Mr. Alani offered to waive costs associated with the ongoing proceedings if a reference was submitted to the Supreme Court before the issuance of the next writ of election.
A copy of the proposal is available for download.

Hi- Great letter! I’d like to ask if we can publish your letter on UnpublishedOttawa.com, a social media website for current affairs in Canada, so we can share it with our audience.
Please let me know.
Thanks!
