Thank you very much, Mr. Chair.
I would like to thank the witnesses for being here today for this important study. They have presented various positions that are all very interesting.
My first questions are for Mr. Dufresne.
Your initiative is quite interesting because there seems to be quite a large and powerful movement in civil society in Quebec calling for electoral reform. The desired change is quite profound and the preference is for a proportional system. You did not refer to a specific system, but there appears to be a consensus among all the groups you mentioned earlier.
They are various types of proportional representation. One type, such as in Germany, involves voting for a local representative along with a list system. In another type, the ridings are larger and have multiple candidates, with three, four, five or six elected members representing the same region.
In light of Canada's geography, which of these two systems do you think would best be able to meet citizens' needs?
