The Globe and Mail published an op-ed by UBC law professor Benjamin Perrin on federal electoral reform.
The government is looking at alternatives to the first-past-the-post system.
“Holding a referendum on electoral reform would allow Canadians to say whether they want to change the system or not, and, if so, which model they prefer,” he wrote. “Failing to do so would indelibly stain the Liberal government as opportunist for using its majority to entrench new rules that favour the party’s electoral outcomes for decades to come.”
