Evidence and Citations In-Text Citations Examples of Citing Evidence Quote, Paraphrase, Author s Name Quote While the Senate may have been a good-perhaps even critical idea during the founding of Canada, today it serves no real purpose other than to bring itself into disrepute (Macleans p.1). Paraphrase/Rewording Initially, when the Senate was first established at Confederation it was necessary but now it seems to be unable to avoid being a source of shame (Macleans p1). Author s name or source in the sentence According to Macleans , the Senate was viewed as critical when Canada was founded but today it serves no real purpose and seems to only brings itself into disrepute (p.1).
Evidence and Citations Quote-Paraphrase-Author s name Quote, Paraphrase, Author s name The Senate should be abolished because it is dated and no longer useful or effective. In 1867 when Canada was founded, the Senate s role was valid and made sense at the time. However, as Canada changed over the years it serves no real purpose other than to bring itself into disrepute (Macleans p.1). The Senate has a negative image amongst Canadians. The House of Commons operates on its own independently thus Canada essentially has a single legislature (Macleans p.1). The House of Commons therefore is the only institution that is necessary in the legislative branch. In addition, the Senate is not effective at it takes longer for bills to become law because of the Senate. According to Macleans, the Senate takes too long to review bills as was the case with the change in the lyrics for the national anthem (Bill c-210) (p.2). It is evident that the Senate is no loner useful or effective.
