When you are building a house, you don't want to skimp on the foundation. It is something that's worth putting some money into. It is the thing upon which the house is going to rest. Electoral reform is part of the foundation of our democracy. I think it would be worth the $300 million it would cost to run a referendum. If it becomes $325 million or $330 million, it's worth it.
The problem is that it sounds like a lot of money, and in some sense it is a lot of money, but it is something we are going to live with for an awfully long time. I think of it as an investment, not as a cost, and we ought to be making that investment because it matters a great deal.
