[fvc-wat-disc] Elizabeth's question and Justin's answer

[Shayne Sangster]

But the Liberal election promise was that the 2015 election would be the last under first past the post. This better not be a case of one-up-manship by Mr. Trudeau like some of the other election promises he made.

Any talk of amending the Referendum Act, which currently only allows referendums on the constitution?

My impression from Monsef's interview on the House this weekend: if the Liberals hear a clear message from people that FPTP is their preference, the Liberals may retain it.  It was a pretty weak/unclear response to Hall's question.

Weeell, I agree with Bob that it's not much of an answer to EM's
question and it's a pretty hopeful answer, unless he thinks that AV
isn't FPTP in which case all bets are off.
