« The Government has committed that 2015 would be the last federal election conducted under the first-past-the-post voting system. The motion to establish an all-party parliamentary committee to study how Canadians vote is the next step towards fulfilling this commitment. The all-party parliamentary committee will review a variety of reforms, such as preferential ballot, proportional representation, mandatory voting, and online voting.
