Thank you very much.
You spoke about the electoral integrity and the potential for legislation there. It brings me to a subject that I want to give you a chance to answer on, and then on that subject, I will have a different question for Professor Breslaw.
My colleague Mr. Aldag mentioned this. Is there an element of accountability woven into the idea of a member of Parliament being able to leave a political party on moral grounds or on a matter of integrity that they perceive, and do they have some relational accountability to their constituency?
Also, on the matter of accountability within this system, is there a psychological barrier or a real barrier to the notion that I, as a representative for Fredericton, could vote a certain way and then have to explain to my constituents that I tried my best but my vote was worth only 0.73%, whereas the vote of so-and-so from somewhere else was worth 1.3%? I would contest that there are matters on which parties do not necessarily vote as a bloc and they are matters of regional contestation and of competing interests.
Perhaps we could split the time left equally to answer those two questions.
