All Canadians had the chance to either attend a town hall or submit their perspectives online to the government on this issue. The vast majority of experts at the hearings and a clear majority of the public at town halls supported a form of proportional representation. The Trudeau government promised that 2015 would be the last under FPTP and that 'all votes would count' next election. Yet, we now have Liberals, on the committee, saying the changes are too rushed and radical despite the fact that they took about 9 months to get the process underway. Neither the Greens nor the NDP support a referendum, so the fact that a referendum is being recommended from the committe suggests that the 5 Liberals on the committe wouldn't support what a clear majority had suggested. I suspect Mr. Trudeau gave them their marching orders after it became clear that proportional representation would be the result, a system which would improve democracy but stop 39% popular vote majorities.
