I'm Megan Whitfield, equity vice-president representing workers of colour for the Ontario Federation of Labour.
We believe that a mixed member proportional system would provide the opportunity for political voices that speak for the interests of workers and their communities to be elected more often. It has also been shown that it increases both voter turnout and the diversity of winning candidates.
We believe that Canadians have had false majorities for far too long. It is time Canada moved to a more representative system that ensures every vote counts.
