Respect to all the Bloc MPs who voted yea. Those guys make out like bandits under the current system.

    This wasnt a motion to change the base system, only some slight adjustments to improve access.

    Right, I remember now someone shared that a few days ago. Well, I suppose that's less impressive then. And way less impressive on the part of the HoC to not pass something basic like improved voting access.

    I don't think that is a accurate portrayal of the motion.

Sponsored by NDP MP Lisa Marie Barron, the motion calls on the federal government to establish a citizens assembly to "determine if electoral reform is recommended for Canada, and, if so, recommend specific measures that would foster a healthier democracy
