Thank you very much, Mr. Chair.
My thanks to the witnesses for joining us today.
I am really delighted to be here. This is not a good thing to say politically, but Quebec City is my favourite city in Canada. I am really happy to be here because it is magnificent.
In my opinion, today’s testimony contains the most innovative proposals that we have heard since we have been working on this task of finding a new voting system that will benefit Canadians and Quebeckers.
I have difficulty understanding all the proposals you presented because French is not my mother tongue. However, I do understand that your two presentations contain some absolutely unique features. Presenting unique proposals is not a bad thing, but I would like to understand them better.
Mr. Rémillard, thank you for thinking of the Green Party. In my opinion, it is important for each vote in our electoral system to be equal. I think that Canadian voters expect each vote to be equal.
In your view, is it possible to explain to voters that a system may change the weight of each vote, but that each vote remains equal, such as in Zurich, Switzerland, specifically? Has any research been done to determine whether or not voters in Zurich actually think that their vote will be equal in a system where votes have different weights?
