Four years ago this week, the Special Committee on Electoral Reform published its final report. Following months of citizen and expert input, the committee’s report recommended the implementation of a proportional voting system for federal elections. But this key 2015 campaign trail promise was not to be kept; Justin Trudeau ignored the report, and months later through a cabinet shuffle, removed electoral reform from the mandate of the new minister for democratic institutions. Ignoring the committee’s citizen- and expert-informed recommendation, he stated that “a clear preference for a new electoral system, let alone a consensus, [had] not emerged.” Alas, 2015 was not to be the last election conducted under first past the post.
