I'd like to thank all of our guests today for the excellent testimony. I believe this is the first time we've had more women witnesses at a session, so that's great to see.
With that, I'm going to start a discussion with Professor Massicotte. I know that the questions are going to go around and there's been great information.
When I was reading your brief, three pieces jumped out at me. The first was your very first point, which was about not having “a culture of coalitions here in Canada”. As I've been out talking to constituents, the point that people are afraid of the idea of minority governments, and even more so of coalition governments, has really come up.
I would like your thoughts. You've identified it as an issue. How much of a barrier to moving forward to this kind of system in the Canadian culture would it pose?
