Thank you.
I have one more question.
Yesterday evening in Toronto, a citizen—not an invited witness—said he felt traumatized, overwhelmed and torn by the need to vote strategically. This obviously affected me in a way.
In terms of strategic voting, I observed that it was not difficult for voters to vote for the local candidate when they did not like the candidate's party. On some occasions, people have told me they voted for me and not for my party. This did not seem very damaging. In my view, it becomes damaging at the level of the parties. For example, a voter really wants to vote for a party but feels the need to vote for another party to block a third party. In that case, it becomes very difficult, especially on an emotional level.
Do you think adopting a proportional system will eliminate the need to vote strategically?
In other words, even in a proportional system, will there still be circumstances in which the voter will decide to vote for a candidate to prevent another candidate from being elected?
When we speak of political science, we seem to be discussing analysis, and when we start analyzing things, we make calculations. It's normal.
That said, will we eliminate the scourge that is strategic voting?
Go ahead Mr. Montigny.
