Private Members' Notices of Motions |
|
| M-86 — June 12, 2023 — Ms. Barron (Nanaimo—Ladysmith) — That: |
| (a) the House recognize that, |
| (i) representative democracy is a fundamental part of Canadian society, |
| (ii) in Canada’s current electoral system, the majority of voters cast ballots for a candidate who does not get elected, and many voters feel that election results do not accurately reflect their views, |
| (iii) a Leger poll conducted in September 2020 showed that 80% of Canadians support the idea of striking a non-partisan, independent citizens’ assembly on electoral reform, |
| (iv) many Canadians are concerned with the health of Canada’s democracy, including voter distrust and disengagement, low voter turnout, and the polarization of politics, |
| (v) all politicians, and all parties, are widely perceived by the public to have a vested interest in the design of the electoral system, |
| (vi) citizens' assemblies have considerable legitimacy and public trust because they are independent, non-partisan, representative bodies of citizens, |
| (vii) citizens’ assemblies have been used successfully in Canada, Australia, Belgium, France, Ireland, Scotland, the Netherlands, and the U.K. to tackle difficult issues through nuanced public deliberation, |
| (viii) a citizens' assembly on electoral reform would give citizens a leadership role in building consensus on a specific model for electoral reform for Canada; and |
| (b) in the opinion of the House, the government should create a Canadian citizens’ assembly on electoral reform, which would, |
| (i) consist of citizens selected by sortition, an impartial selection process to ensure the assembly’s independence and non-partisanship, |
| (ii) reflect the diversity of the Canadian population, including a representation and meaningful participation of age groups, genders, ethnicities, languages, socioeconomic backgrounds, and geographic regions including from First Nations, Inuit and Metis peoples, |
| (iii) determine if electoral reform is recommended for Canada, and, if so, recommend specific measures that would foster a healthier democracy. |
