Richard Johnston, a UBC political science professor, spoke to the Canadian Press for an article about electoral reform.
He said the message from democratic institutions minister Maryam Monsef has evolved to be more sensible and responsible than the election promise to shift away from the “first-past-the-post” electoral system.
Johnston said abolishing an established electoral formula in one session of Parliament is a stretch, as Trudeau made the electoral reform pledge in June 2015, when he was trying to capture progressive voters from the NDP.
The CP story appeared on CBC, Huffington Post, Yahoo, CTV, Metro News, Kelowna Capital News and Kelowna Daily Courier.
