Okay, you've asked a couple of questions. On the citizens assembly, when it got elected in 2003, the government said it would review the electoral system and it would do it following a citizens assembly. So they followed the B.C. model. I think that really lent itself to Mr. Reid's question: instead of putting a bunch of scenarios before the public, let's have a committee of all the people decide what would be the best choice to go up against, first past the post. It did that; it fulfilled that. At the same time, they said if they come up with a different system, they'll have a referendum.
On November 26th, 2009. See this statement in context.
