Mr. Speaker, I am very pleased to present a petition on behalf of the constituents of Kootenay—Columbia concerning proportional representation. There are over 700 signatures from Nelson, Cranbrook, Salmo, Golden, and Creston.
An important point is that this petition is for true proportional representation, not for the preferential ballot, which is really just a second past the post system of voting.
I look forward to hearing from the government at some point on this important question.
