Thanks, Mr. Chair.
Thank you all for being here.
I'll start with Mr. Bozinoff and Mr. Schatten.
I was shocked when I heard you say, when you were asking about the understanding of the various systems.... I understood you to say that the question you asked was “Could you explain it to a friend?” That was a way of determining if there was actual understanding. I was shocked when I heard you say that only 54% could explain first past the post, which is our current system. Then you went on to say that only 40% could identify that first past the post was our current system, so I think that largely explains that.
I'm curious if you've ever polled on explaining our current system. The reason I ask is that obviously 54% is lower than the typical turnout at an election. If they voted in an election, they should understand the system they voted under. I'm just curious about whether you've ever asked that question. Rather than asking about first past the post, have you asked, “Could you explain our current system?” I'm curious about that.
