Thank you very much, Mr. Chair.
I must admit to everyone that this is making me hungry.
I would like to thank the witnesses for being here this morning. I would also like to thank everyone in the room. It's rather unusual, and I am very happy that you are here to listen to our discussions. Welcome.
Mr. Cross, we've had a first-past-the-post system for almost 150 years. We have never known anything else. Yet most other western democracies have a proportional voting system, either mixed member or single transferable vote.
In your opinion, what type of cultural change would a proportional voting system create within the Canadian confederation, particularly during government debates and decision-making?
