Prime Minister Justin Trudeau says he doesn't expect his government to move on electoral reform, despite his party membership calling for a national council to examine the issue.
This weekend, grassroots Liberals voted in favour of a resolution that asks the government to create a national citizen's assembly on electoral reform.
Speaking with reporters in London, Trudeau says he's more focused on issues such as the economy, adding that he would move ahead with electoral reform if there was consensus on another model. Trudeau says he still prefers a ranked ballot, but argues it wouldn't have been fair to push that system on Canadians using his majority government, which ended in 2019.
