Mr. Speaker, this is the same question as yesterday. The hon. member knows full well that our current system has served Canada extremely well. Not only do we have a federation, but it is the second largest in the world. The hon. member would have us adopt a system by which candidates who receive very few votes would get to sit in the House of Commons instead of those duly elected. That is not how members of Parliament should be selected.
In the House of Commons on September 24th, 2003. See this statement in context.
