I was just curious about it. It stands to reason that if they were able to indicate the current system, it might have made that number higher.
I would agree that there shouldn't be a knowledge test to vote. There have been many who have made that argument when talking about referendums. They say that people wouldn't have enough knowledge or understand enough to vote in a referendum. I just think that's a really arrogant viewpoint. It's unfortunate that some people see it that way.
I want to move on to you, Professor Cross.
You mentioned, and actually, in response to Mr. Aldag's question, it was brought up again, one of the unique challenges that might exist in Canada, and that was in talking about party lists and other parties being able to influence party leadership choices. You explained that because that choice in Canada is done by the extra-parliamentary membership, or the grassroots membership of parties, it would create a unique challenge in terms of issues such as coalitions and party lists and things like that.
I'm curious about whether you have thought much about other unique considerations in looking at a system for Canada. Obviously, Canada is, in many ways, very much different from a lot of other countries. We're one of the largest countries in the world. We're a very sparsely populated, very diverse country. Do you have some suggestions on other considerations we should be thinking about? If a new system were to be created for Canada, we have to think about those unique challenges. Have you thought about what some of those unique challenges might be that we would want to think about?
