Mr. Speaker, I rise today to present a petition from a group of civic-minded constituents in my riding of Guelph.
With 36 signatories, the petition entitled “A petition to ensure Canadians have a fair electoral system” is calling on the government to continue discussions on electoral reform and to introduce a system of proportional representation.
While the 2019 election will not include a new voting system, I believe that by keeping the dialogue on electoral reform alive, we will be able to engage Canadians from coast to coast to coast to take a keen interest in their democracy and how to improve it.
I will continue to present my constituents' initiatives on electoral reform to the House, and look forward to my continued work with them in Guelph.
