I thank our witnesses and the crowd here. I am happy to be in Victoria with you today.
I want to explain the empty chair here. My colleague and good friend Nathan Cullen is a little busy right now, because the government just announced an LNG project with the company Petronas, and he has to give some interviews on that.
I am now going to switch to French.
Thank you, Mr. Henschel. I wish I had more than five minutes to ask you questions.
I find your citizen assembly concept very interesting. The NDP had suggested this process, but it wasn't accepted.
I would like to get a better understanding of your enthusiasm for multi-member constituencies. You seemed to be saying earlier that they were fantastic. You mentioned that your written brief explained this concept in more detail.
Could you take a minute or a minute and a half to tell us why—and to what extent—constituencies with several MPs are the best solution?
