I see. That is very interesting.
It gave me a start earlier when Ms. Thomas recalled that, following the events in 1995, the 50% plus one rule was no longer to apply. Quebec's National Assembly objected to this and it was determined that that was the rule. I think my colleagues in the NDP agree that the 50% plus one rule must apply. Thank you.
That is a problem. In British Columbia, they can not even adopt a 60% plus one rule. I think we are putting the bar too high and that is an obstacle. Thank you.
If there is time left, I have a question for the three witnesses.
In the Figueroa case, the Supreme Court pointed out that party financing is an essential component of the plurality of opinions.
Should a future reform of the voting system be linked to a reform of party financing, or should these two things be considered separately?
Should party financing be reformed? Is that essential or not?
