voting system: She said she still hopes to introduce legislation in the spring, according to The Chronicle Herald. But Monsef flabbergasted opposition parties with a dismissive, hostile response to the majority report of the opposition-dominated committee on electoral reform, which recommended that the government design a new proportional voting system and hold a national referendum to gauge public support for it. Maryam Monsef continued to insist that the government remains committed to Trudeau campaign promise and to working collaboratively with opposition parties on replacing the first-past-the-post electoral system. Did the feds promise electoral reform only with broad support Liberal members of the committee dissented, arguing that Canadians are not sufficiently engaged in the issue as they urged Trudeau to abandon his self-imposed deadline to change the voting system in time for the October 2019 election. She then expressed disappointment that the committee didn t recommend a specific voting model. Pressed by Conservatives and New Democrats in the House of Commons to accept the majority report, Monsef asserted that the only consensus that the committee found was that there is no consensus on electoral reform.
