Nathalie Des Rosiers, Current Canadian Civil Liberties Association general counsel was our main speaker. She spoke about the Law Commission Report, “Voting Counts” which advocates how to make all votes count by using mixed-member proportional representation.

Brian Tanguay, a political science professor at Wilfrid Laurier University whose research has focused on the politics of electoral reform in liberal democracies, spoke on the meaning of the Ontario and BC referenda, as well as the lessons to be learned from those countries and regions that have successfully adopted more proportional electoral systems (New Zealand and Scotland, among others).
