Thank you, Madam Chair.
I'm really glad to see that we're reaching a positive consensus, because these are issues of profound concern.
I would like to add something into the mix. I realize that we've taken on a great deal of work, but in light of the reality of our current Parliament, the fact that there are so few women represented in the House of Commons makes electoral reform an important piece in this puzzle. We've been talking a great deal about accountability, and I think it's time that we looked at the kinds of changes that would make Parliament truly representative and truly accountable. So I would like to add electoral reform.
There are all kinds of models that are available. A great deal of work has already been done, and I think it's important to move that work forward with this committee, keeping in mind that better representation in our Parliament will indeed address, or help to address, the issues that concern us in the committee.
Thank you.
