Mr. Speaker, over 60% of Canadians in the last election voted for parties committed to changing the first past the post voting system. Canadians want it changed because it provides an election outcome that is not consistent with the results of the election. It is a system inherited from a distant past, not designed to meet the needs of a multi-party democracy.
Many countries around the world have developed other systems, and we would do well to learn from them.
It is time for a 21st century model of elections, and we are committed to delivering on our promise to Canadians.
