Mr. Speaker, the minister is quite right. The House can be partisan, and the Liberals have definitely proved it on this issue.
The Prime Minister already announced that the first-past-the-post system was no longer an option. The Liberals have told us that they prefer a preferential ballot system and they are putting together a partisan committee without consulting the opposition parties.
Today we see that the government has already made up its mind about this, even though ministers' so-called consultations have not even started.
Can the Prime Minister tell us and tell all Canadians that they will have a say in a referendum?
