Trudeau says Liberals will not pursue electoral reform
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.
The proposal notes that the idea has been on the party books since 2014, and that Trudeau won the 2015 election on a promise to end the current first-past-the-post electoral system. He also confirms reports that the NDP tried to make electoral reform part of the agreement it formed with the Liberals last year, but the two parties could not agree whether to use a ranked ballot system or proportional representation.
