Yes. The European Union, the Parliament of Europe, has weighted votes where each member has a weight that's proportional to the size of his country in the same way we do with our agglomeration council here in Quebec. The idea of having different weights in a parliamentary system certainly exists.
Perhaps I could bring it back to you in a slightly different way. Let's go to my example. The Green Party has 10% of the votes and 5% of the seats. My suggestion is that each member of the Green Party receives a weight of two. That clearly gives us proportional representation.
An alternative, which is what we've been talking about with all the other systems, is that somehow the Green Party would have a few extra seats flown in to bring it up to spec. Let's take it simply. We have one member of the Green Party, and now we throw in another member to make it two. Now it's equivalent. Which is better? Frankly, of course, it's equivalent. It's the same as the difference between standing on the planet Earth or being an accelerator in outer space. It's the equivalence principle; you cannot tell the difference.
What would I prefer as a citizen? Do I want a group of non-elected citizens being chucked into the Green Party, who are going to do pretty much what the Green Party tells them to do and bring my House up to 675 members, or do I have this weighted system, which is the one we're talking about? And, yes, you have to be efficient in this.
