If the reform you are studying leads to a moderate proportional representation system with ranked ballots, there will be a number of benefits for the citizens of Canada.
The members of the House of Commons elected by 48% of the citizens who voted will be elected by almost all voters. If preferential voting is applied and if everyone completely lists their order of preference, members will be elected by all the people who voted and listed their order of preference. The majority of MPs will really represent a majority of voters, instead of a little over a quarter as is the case today. Voters will be able to vote honestly, without having to make assumptions about strategic voting decisions. Political parties will be encouraged to pay more attention to the concerns of all citizens, and the public debate will become less simplistic and less confrontational.
Thank you.
