Thank you very much, Mr. Chair.
I want to thank the witnesses for joining us this evening.
As you said, not everyone wants to sit in a dark committee room on an evening such as tonight, so thank you so much for being here.
There are three different presentations and a lot of topics. I wish we had three or four hours to get through a lot of these items.
I'll start with Professor Des Rosiers.
I didn't read it all, but I have read most of the report, and thank you for it. You talked in your 23 recommendations and your presentation about the importance of increasing diversity and gender representation among our elected officials and so on. We've also heard from other witnesses that a change to the voting system will not impact diversity and gender representation. In fact, a different tactic that could be used would be quota systems, and so on, and so forth. While we can't look at electoral reform as simply changing a voting system, it would not be the be all that ends all. In terms of engagement and participation, we heard a bit of your views on online voting, and I would love to hear more, Professor Jansen.
In terms of some of the recommendations you made in your report from a few years back, what would you tweak? Things have changed since the time you wrote that report. What would you recommend be tweaked in those recommendations you gave us?
