Electoral Reform committee  I want to make a clarification for Mr. Deltell. New Zealand held its referendum after the implementation of the electoral system. The New Zealanders decided not to move backward and to keep the current electoral system. In fact, I don't know of any government that returned to the electoral system currently in place in Canada.

Electoral Reform committee  My name is Maurice Berthelot.

Electoral Reform committee  Good afternoon. I would have liked to hear about mandatory voting, but it has not been discussed. I represent the 7 million Canadians who voted and do not have a representative in Parliament. I am here for my children and my grandchildren. We have a democratic deficit in Canada because young people are discouraged by voting.
