The meeting is called to order.
We are very happy to be back in the wonderful city of Québec, on this glorious fall day.
For those of you who do not know, this is the committee's 28th meeting, and its fourth in its cross-Canada tour which begin in Regina on Monday. We were in Winnipeg on Tuesday, in Toronto yesterday, and now we are in the lovely city of Québec. Our tour will continue for two and a half weeks.
I will explain to the witnesses and the members of the public how the meeting will proceed. The witnesses have 10 minutes to make their presentation. We will begin with Mr. Dutil and Mr. Rémillard.
The presentations will be followed by a question period during which each MP may speak with the witnesses for five minutes. That includes the MPs' questions and the witnesses' answers. Through these exchanges, we learn a great deal about electoral reform, what kind of electoral system people want, and why they would like to see changes.
Without further delay, I invite Mr. Dutil to take the floor for 10 minutes.
