Mr. Speaker, it sounds like the member has it all figured out.
What the NDP is suggesting today is something that was debated and voted on in P.E.I and in Ontario, where both populations said no to it.
I even understand that there were a number of New Democratic MPPs in Ontario who actually campaigned against this particular proposal.
A bit of a surprise is that a lot of people, including me, favour electoral reform. However, what is a bit hard to understand is why the NDP has taken such a narrow approach to electoral reform to the degree that it has endorsed one plan. I do not think Fair Vote and other organizations would want to see that. They would like to see a more open approach to dealing with electoral reform.
