I'm going to start with a couple of questions for Professor Johnston.
I always find it interesting to get people's written submissions, and as I go through them I grab things that jump out at me. The first one from yours that grabbed my attention was in your paragraph 9, where you say, “Proportional formulae require 'engineering' to get to an electoral result.”
It's the first time I've seen—I guess it's implied.... We've seen these mathematical computations and other things. The question I have is simply whether Canadians are ready for a more complex system. We heard about a system this morning from Germany, which was designed for us and that had a number of computations. When I saw the term “engineering”, I thought that's really what it is. It's taken from a straight kind of count and applying something else to it.
Do you think we're at a point in Canada where Canadians are ready for something more complex than a majoritarian or plurality system?
