Mr. Speaker, my question is for the Deputy Prime Minister.
As he is aware, his own member of Parliament, who is the Liberal leader in Ontario, supports a referendum on changing the voting system, just like the Ontario NDP favours changing the voting system. Yet we have heard all week from the government why it does not like the idea of proportional representation. However, that is not the question. The question is whether or not the citizens of this country like proportional representation.
My question for the Deputy Prime Minister is, will the Liberal Party support the NDP motion next week which will call for a national referendum on changing our voting system?
