If we adopted a system combining local members—such as the current one—and candidates from a list, I really like the idea that we would have provincial or sub-regional lists for Quebec and Ontario.
What do you think of having two categories of members, those elected locally, and those who would be elected from a list? People may sometimes feel that members on a list live in the ether, and sort of float above the electors. But in fact, they have offices in cities or towns and also meet people.
I also know that the perception of these members of Parliament changes according to the country and people's experience. In Germany, an MP is an MP. In other places, however, things are more nuanced than that.
Mr. Colas and Mr. Montigny, what have you heard about this?
