On the idea of a national citizens' assembly, we had before us yesterday, in Victoria, Diana Byford and Craig Henschel. Both of them were in the B.C. Ctizens' Assembly. Extrapolating from the number of people they had in B.C., they figured 676 people would be a national citizens' assembly, but that's fewer people than have already appeared and come to the public meetings of this committee.
Engaging the population of Canada, in a sense, is called representative democracy and responsible government, and that has to do with something called Parliament, which we've been elected to. What number of people would be enough to say that we've talked to the people of Canada?
