Make action on electoral reform part of the deal

Tweet to Justin Trudeau and Jagmeet Singh, urging them to make progress on electoral reform part of any deal!

Media reports this week in Maclean's and La Presse tell us that Jagmeet Singh and Justin Trudeau are negotiating a deal.

A deal that could mean that the NDP promises to vote confidence for Justin Trudeau's government for three years, in exchange for action on crucial issues.

This is the moment where the rubber meets the road for electoral reform.

A commitment to progress on electoral reform is within our reach!

Media reports this week in Maclean's and La Presse tell us that Jagmeet Singh and Justin Trudeau are negotiating a deal.

A deal that could mean that the NDP promises to vote confidence for Justin Trudeau's government for three years, in exchange for action on crucial issues.

This is the moment where the rubber meets the road for electoral reform.

A commitment to progress on electoral reform is within our reach!

In the last Parliament, Liberal MPs on the Procedure and House Affairs Committee voted YES to a study of a National Citizens' Assembly on Electoral Reform.

The recommendation from the study would have gone to a vote of the whole Parliament.

When Trudeau called a snap election, that commitment vanished. 

Any deal between the Liberals and the NDP should include a renewed commitment for a next step towards a National Citizens' Assembly on Electoral Reform.

We know our leaders can do it. Multi-party collaboration on electoral reform is gaining steam across the country. 

When the Yukon election delivered a minority government this year, the Yukon Liberal Party negotiated a Confidence and Supply deal with the Yukon NDP that included a commitment to work towards electoral reform

Just last week on Prince Edward Island, a majority of MLAs—including the PEI Liberal Party leader —voted in favour 
of a Green Party motion to convene a PEI Citizens' Assembly on Proportional Representation. 

The research is clear: long-term progress on almost every issue we care about could depend on electoral reform.

These negotiations between the Liberals and the NDP could end anytime.

The window of opportunity is closing fast, so we must act now.

Please tweet to Jagmeet Singh and Justin Trudeau now.
