Mr. Speaker, the minister will get all the help she needs from the New Democrats; $2.6 billion is what will fix the gap.
The Liberals also promised during the last election for electoral reform. Consultations and implementation will take time, yet the government has had five months with little to show for it. We have asked the minister to see and appreciate the urgency of now.
The New Democrats have proposed that we strike a citizens' working group to identify the problems we are trying to fix and establish the principles of a new voting system. Our antiquated first-past-the-post system was made by politicians for politicians. We must do better.
Will the democratic reform minister consider our proposal and engage Canadian society?
