Thank you so much.
Professor Macfarlane, you mentioned earlier that it would be important for us to explain the various systems, the pros and the cons, and then you mentioned maybe Canadians don't want to know all of the nitty-gritty details. I think because we know that there is no perfect voting system, it is important for this committee to make sure that we ask the questions, the pros and the cons, of each possible alternative voting system.
We heard from both you and Professor Cooper about some of the negative aspects of proportional representation. One issue that keeps coming up for us is in a multi-member proportional system, the kind of confusion for citizens on who represents me, the two-tiered MP system, and so on. We mentioned that, and you also mentioned, Professor Macfarlane, in your brief that under a PR system a party that secures 15% of the vote can enter into a coalition in government and actually push their agenda in a majority way.
I would like to get some further clarification from the two of you on some of the negative aspects of a PR system, in addition to what you've already mentioned.
