moved for leave to introduce Bill C-451, an act to amend the Parliament of Canada Act and the Canada Elections Act.
Mr. Speaker, I am pleased to introduce my private member's bill, an act to amend the Parliament of Canada Act and the Canada Elections Act. The bill will provide for fixed election dates to be held on the third Monday of October every four years.
Reform MPs are champions of democratic accountability and the bill seeks to advance the cause of improved democratic procedures by putting an end to the games of politics and patronage which are traditionally played with election dates.
I urge all members of the House to support my bill in the interest of improving the democratic election process in Canada through fixed election dates.
