For everyone's benefit, I think it might be useful for you to provide us with an example in writing. I was going through the exercise while you were giving your explanation. Supposing there are five seats to fill in Quebec and some two million voters. You say that you need plus one to ensure that six candidates will not be elected, rather than five. I know it's a matter of doing the math, but why isn't it 400,000 votes in this case, rather than 333,334? I would like you to provide us with an example in writing showing how to transfer the surplus votes. I know that this system is used in other countries.
Supposing a candidate does not meet the quota. I want to go back to my example. There are five Senate seats to be filled in Quebec, and two million people are voting. There are several candidates, but none meets the quota of 333,334 votes. What happens then? Do we abolish the Senate?
