I only have the copy from Jamie, and it's in English only. It appears to just be a web document, so it's available online. After Jamie gets back, anybody can just jot down the web address and look it up in both official languages.
The stated purpose of the consultation process—the “citizen engagement process”, as it's referred to—is to deal with a part of the Speech from the Throne that said:
Building on the work begun in the last Parliament
—that is, of course, a reference to this committee's work—
this Government will seek to involve parliamentarians and citizens in examining the challenges facing Canada's electoral system and democratic institutions.
That's the part of the Speech from the Throne that serves as a justification, and it goes back to the previous Speech from the Throne, from 2004, in which these same themes had been raised.
The 43rd report of this committee specified that a citizen engagement process was to begin. From a technical point of view, “citizen engagement process” means something technically in terms of how one goes about carrying out consultations and who is capable of doing it. That really is the basis on which this went forward, so this is a follow-up on that.
In terms of the other side of the resolution that we made, like many members of this committee, I was on the committee at that time as well. You may recall that we had discussed having two components. One was the citizen consultation process that would report back first. The parliamentary process would then report back at a later date. This all fits into that framework.
