Petition to the House of Commons
We the undersigned Canadian citizens would like to draw the attention of the House of Commons to the following:
WHEREAS:
The need for electoral reform continues to be a fundamental issue for citizens of all political persuasions, while politicians cannot agree on the best way forward; and
This calls for a new approach to developing a citizens' consensus on electoral reform.
THEREFORE, your petitioners call upon the House of Commons to:
Give citizens a voice on the subject of electoral reform and a right to make recommendations;
More specifically, we would like to see a representative and non-partisan citizens' assembly that has the resources, the expert support and sufficient time required to come to a citizens' consensus on recommendatio to be delivered to the government; and
We call on MPs of all parties to vote in support of Motion M-86 Citizens' Assembly on Electoral Reform, which will be debated in the House of Parliament in the fall of 2023.
- Presented to the House of Commons
