Title
Brief to the House of Commons Special Committee on Electoral Reform
Abstract
The QCGN is concerned that the Government of Canada has not provided Canadians a specific electoral system on which to be consulted. Arriving at a recommended electoral system has been delegated to this Committee, with the decision on which system to pursue resting with the government. Members of the Committee undoubtedly understand the complexity of various systems under consideration, and the esoteric nature of the material. Indeed, so far the discussion at this Committee has been dominated by specialists, a term used broadly to include technical experts, and people and groups with an ongoing interest and specialization in electoral systems. This should come as no surprise when beginning with a blank sheet of paper, and indeed, the Committee is mandated to seek out expert testimony.
