Okay.
I'm going to start my questioning with you, Professor Cross. I found your discussion really interesting. I'll tell you where my mind has gone this morning. We've had discussions about different forms of government that arise from proportional systems and about this idea of coalition, and I've poked around with other witnesses about what kinds of policy compromises would be made in the sense that some small parties can have a unwieldy amount of weight or a disproportionate amount of weight.
Because of their being able to broker within the power scheme of things in Parliament, they could end up with a stronger voice than they might have had otherwise, but I had never considered this in the sense of party leadership selection. You've given the example of Australia, so I'm sitting here and looking across the table, where we have the Conservatives currently starting their leadership search and the NDP about to embark on the same process. I'm thinking, wow, so you're saying that Ms. May, with a perhaps slightly expanded Green Party, could actually dictate to the Conservatives who they're going to select as their leader, and the Bloc could actually get involved with the NDP and determine who is going to be ruled out or not.
Could that actually happen in the Canadian context? I find that absolutely fascinating.
