Thank you.
My first question will be for Mr. Colas.
It's very nice to hear that you understand what we're going through on this committee, because very few probably do.
The Law Commission came up with the MMP recommendation. Yesterday we heard some witnesses during our open mike night in Toronto propose different ideas that use that system but make it a little bit simpler. You would have the same ballots and you would vote for your candidate. I think in one of the systems they said you'd add 33% more seats, or something like that, and maybe make the ridings a little bit bigger than they are right now so that you're not changing the number of members as much.
Basically you would elect the members in the riding, and then to create some proportionality you would simply take the people who did the best in certain ridings and who were already candidates. Those people would then get placed according to the proportional vote.
What is your opinion? Did you have similar proposals that didn't use lists created by the party? We are also hearing about some hesitation in connection with lists.
