[fvc-wat-disc] Monsef on CBC The House

[Sharon Sommerville]

Thanks for sharing Monsef's interview Eleanor.

Reading the Waterloo Region town hall report, one could see why Monsef
would say that there was no consensus for change which was part of her
message in this interview.  If the WR report was indicative of other MP
town hall reports then we have a self fulfilling process.

She stated that she heard from passionate folks supporting PR & FPTP.  I
have attended 4 consultation meetings: three town halls and one ERRE
committee open mic meeting.  There was no strong support for FPTP at any of
those meetings.  All meetings were in SW Ont. or Toronto, so that may
bias the views.

She stated that FVC's statement that the straw vote at the beginning of
each of her town halls didn't included a vote on PR.  We have our town hall
on video & I would like to review that segment of the meeting. Don't know
if it is on our website yet, if not I will be in touch with Laurel to see
if we can take a look at the section of the meeting. I remember the straw
poll but don't recall if there was a vote on PR or if it was simply for a
more general electoral system change. Does anyone else have a clear memory
of the vote?

One thing that she didn't confirm was the strong, clear and definitive
policy that all Liberal MPs campaigned on.  That seems to be forgotten.

We should write to The House to remind the Liberals of their campaign
promise.

Thanks again Eleanor, very interesting and a great help!

Cheers,
Sharon
