Again, my best advice would be to watch what your veteran colleagues are doing. As soon as one of us starts saying anything about the Harper government, suddenly they have very important documents that they must look at incredibly closely. Just let it go by, because it won't last, but it's going to be there. Anyway, that's advice to you, my friend, and it's worth what you paid for it.
I just point out that as we get into the detail of why we're here I again want to express how overall disappointing it is. The government started with a lot of optimism. The other thing is that this file itself, electoral reform or anything to do with rules and democracy, is not exactly a strong suit for the government right now. They might recall a slight U-turn that the government recently took vis-à-vis one of their biggest promises to change.... I believe there were words to the effect that the 2015 election would be the very last one that Canada would conduct under first past the post.
They made that promise over and over again. The Prime Minister personally owned that promise: the 2015 federal election would be the last one ever conducted under first past the post. What's going to happen in October 2019? We're going to have a federal election and it's going to be first past the post.
