I find it a very difficult question. I do agree with my colleague that maybe certain issues should not be put to a referendum.
When it comes to an electoral system change, I think there first needs to be an extensive public consultation. I know there are numbers currently of people who even aren't aware that this is happening. Discussions are extremely low and very biased in terms of the type of people who are involved with this discussion in the larger Canadian public, so I think we'd have to have a very large consultation first, campaigning, informing people, and that takes time to do.
At the end of this, I do think something like electoral system change might have to go to the people to vote on. I'd like to see something like they have done in New Zealand in a several-step process, where people can familiarize themselves and maybe in one or two elections even vote on whether they want to keep the system or not.
