I will use this opportunity to speak to Ms. Des Rosiers.
Parity between men and women is important, and we need quality female politicians. We also have a hard time recruiting women. That is an existing situation. It's more difficult in federal politics than in municipal and provincial politics.
That said, you mentioned that there are legitimacy issues with the current voting system, which is outdated. Legitimacy establishes legality. An illegitimate law is a bad law.
So why adopt this position that a referendum must be held, but not necessarily a referendum?
