In the last federal election, three parties, representing 63% of voters, promised that 2015 was the last election using first-past-the-post and to "make every vote count" in 2019.
The all-party committee on electoral reform (ERRE), which is proportional to the popular vote, has been hard at work hearing from experts and Canadians.
The first guiding principle of the committee's work it to ensure that their proposal "reduces distortion and strengthens the link between voter intention and the election of representatives."
On December 1, 2016, ERRE is set release a final report. We need a strong recommendation for a system of proportional representation.
All MPs need to know that their constituents support proportional representation, and all MPs need the facts about PR. Fair Vote Canada's submission to ERRE focuses on values:
- fair, proportional results
- governments representing a genuine majority of voters
- ensuring almost every voter can help elect a representative who shares his/her values
- reflecting the political diversity of each region and the diversity of Canada in Parliament
It also outlines three proportional models tailored for Canada.
