Dear Editor:
Response to Rafe Mair letter, Sept. 11 Mailbox.
Let’s let the all-party committee of men and women do its job designing a new “Made in Canada” voting system and then let Justin (Trudeau) keep his promise and implement that new system in time for Canada’s 150th birthday.
It’s unfair to ask the people to decide on an electoral system before trying it out. After all, we would never expect them to decide on buying a car without taking it for a test drive. So let’s run the new system for two elections and then on the third election give voters the choice of ratifying the decision on the general ballot. We would then be voting on actual experience with proportional representation.
