I wanted to touch on a concern of mine, and I want to raise this with you, Mr. Schwartz.
It's been suggested by many that Canada is a leader in the world with regard to democracy and our economy. One suggestion was that we should implement a PR system, run it for a couple of elections, and then have a referendum to see what people think of it.
Do you think that in a solid democracy or a solid country like Canada we should be doing something like that? To me it seems like a great big experiment with our national system and our national way.
I certainly agree with your premise that alternation is a good thing. Coming from a politician, that might be a bit of a surprise, but I think that it has worked, and it does work in a democratic system.
Could you elaborate on whether you think that's dangerous or not?
