serving in the Senate to me is a privilege vs a right and politicians historically have  been held up to a higher standard of ethical behaviour in view of the importance of representing a large body of the general population (of course this concept seems to have disappeared based on scandals of the past few years). As an average Canadian to see the circumstances as outlined it completely baffles me as to how he can still be considered capable to act as a Senator.  The fact this young lady happened to turn 18 by no means implies she was a willing participant as opposed to being manipulated.
