Segal parted company with a Con servative sponsored bill earlier this year that would have required labour unions to disclose salaries and spending for instance But his largest display of indepen dence came when he balked at Con servative spearheaded measures to punish senators Pamela Wallin Mike Duffy and Patrick Brazcau Segal a long time friend of steadfasUy resisted the idea that Uie Senate should be judge and jmy in Uie long running controversy over expenses in the chamber notion that we would move to a sentencing process which Ulis mo tion is is just completely unfair and a violation of every principle of Segal said in an October interview Segal could have remained in the Senate for another 12 years to the official retirement age at 75 raser Uie departing master an nounced he was pleased with the choice of his successor is a wonderful choice the se lection committee has made and it Ls a help to me to know that such a warm engaging and energetic figure as Hugh Segal is to take
