Mr. Speaker, I would like to thank the hon. member for Trinity—Spadina for his question.
We are not saying that this plan is completely fleshed out and set in stone. We are just saying that closed lists are not the only option.
In a mixed member proportional system, there is the possibility of adjusting various parameters in order to determine what best represents Canada. There is a way to strike a balance between regional representation and proportional representation of parties, so that each party is able to present more representative candidates. It would not be very difficult.
