The ERRE is supposed to have a draft report by tomorrow and obviously - the only interpretation I can think of - is after four months of meetings and weeks behind closed doors the NDP can't find any red team to play ball with so they're forced to reach out to the Conservatives. This is going downhill fast. Before the government declares "oh there was no consensus" we need to push the Liberal ERRE members to keep their promise and negotiate PR.</div><div><br></div><div>Anita </div><div><br><div class="gmail_quote">---------- Forwarded message ----------<br>From: <b class="gmail_sendername">Fair Vote Canada - Anita Nickerson</b> <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:anita.nickerson@fairvote.ca" target="_blank">anita.nickerson@fairvote.ca</a>></span><br>Date: Wed, Nov 16, 2016 at 5:13 PM<br>Subject: [CiviMail Draft] Urgent: Please call a Liberal on the ERRE Committee Now!<br>To: Oneta Nickerson <<a href="mailto:anita.nickerson@fairvote.ca" target="_blank">anita.nickerson@fairvote.ca</a>><br><br><br><p><span style="font-size:16px"><strong><span style="color:#b22222">Urgent: </span><a href="https://secure.fairvote.ca/sites/secure.fairvote.ca/modules/civicrm/extern/url.php?u=210872&qid=8131242" target="_blank"><span style="color:#b22222">Please call a Liberal MP on the Electoral Reform Committee Now!</span></a><a href="https://secure.fairvote.ca/sites/secure.fairvote.ca/modules/civicrm/extern/url.php?u=210872&qid=8131242" target="_blank"><span style="color:#b22222"><img alt="" src="http://www.fairvote.ca/wp-content/uploads/2016/11/Call-your-MP-Email-Pic.jpg" style="margin:10px;float:right;width:325px;height:575px"></span></a></strong></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:16px">Dear Oneta,</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:16px">The final days of negotiation by the all-party committee on electoral reform (ERRE) have arrived. <strong>Today, after four months of meetings, two weeks behind closed doors, and a deadline for a draft report fast approaching, the NDP <a href="https://secure.fairvote.ca/sites/secure.fairvote.ca/modules/civicrm/extern/url.php?u=210883&qid=8131242" target="_blank">went to the media</a> to announce they would consider teaming up with the Conservatives to support a referendum.</strong></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:16px">In the last federal election, the Liberals, NDP and Greens all promised to implement a new voting system to replace first-past-the-post to "make every vote count" in 2019. Why would the NDP offer to work with the Conservatives on a referendum rather than with the Liberals on a proportional system?<br>
<br>
<strong><span style="color:#b22222">We are deeply concerned that the Liberals on the ERRE will not negotiate a majority report for <em>any </em>kind of proportional representation. </span></strong></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:16px">At hundreds of public meetings, a national tour by the committee and the Minister, and months of witnesses, the committee heard from <a href="https://secure.fairvote.ca/sites/secure.fairvote.ca/modules/civicrm/extern/url.php?u=210873&qid=8131242" target="_blank">an overwhelming majority of experts and citizens in favour of PR</a>. The MPs on the committee were presented with many positive, made-in-Canada proportional options to choose from.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:16px"><em>Are the Liberals backing away fast from their campaign promise to make 2015 the last election with first-past-the-post and to make every vote count?</em><br>
<br>
<strong><span style="color:#000000">Justin Trudeau's </span><a href="https://youtu.be/iQ102Adfm20" target="_blank"><span style="color:#000000">promise to Make Every Vote Count</span></a><span style="color:#000000"> and our chance at voter equality may be in grave peril. </span></strong><br>
<br>
We must put the pressure on now! <br>
<br>

<p><span style="font-size:16px"><span style="color:#000000">The Liberals on the committee need to hear from Canadians more than ever. </span><a href="https://secure.fairvote.ca/sites/secure.fairvote.ca/modules/civicrm/extern/url.php?u=210872&qid=8131242" target="_blank"><span style="color:#b22222"><strong>Please take five minutes to pick up the phone and register your opinion while there is still time.</strong></span></a></span></p>
