The problem with the representation right now is that you're engaging a specific subset of Canadians. You're engaging a specific demographic group.
People who go to town halls are probably feeling passionate about this issue. They're probably largely PR people, because they feel passionate about it. They haven't been able to engage a broader representative group of Canadians. Maybe it's not so much about numbers as it is about engaging a more representative cover, and that's what a citizens' assembly would give us.
