 Hello, everyone! We have an important webinar coming up and I'd like everyone to encourage everyone to 𝐬𝐡𝐚𝐫𝐞 with your friends and your networks (and please attend!)A good turnout sends a message that a lot of people care about progress on PR. MPs who are willing to work for PR in Parliament need all the public backing they can get. And we want to show the PR movement is bigger than ever. Let's see how many people we can encourage to show up for this important discussion to kick off our efforts with this new Parliament.

He is a long time advocate for proportional representation. In June, 2021, the Procedure and House Affairs Committee (PROC) passed Daniel's motion to study a National Citizens' Assembly on Electoral Reform. Fair Vote Canada campaigned hard for this motion to succeed! If an election had not been called, the study would have commenced. Daniel is committed to working to get this motion passed again, by a newly formed PROC committee. 𝐖𝐚𝐲𝐧𝐞 𝐋𝐨𝐧𝐠, 𝐋𝐢𝐛𝐞𝐫𝐚𝐥 𝐌𝐏 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐒𝐚𝐢𝐧𝐭 𝐉𝐨𝐡𝐧—𝐑𝐨𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐬𝐚𝐲Wayne Long was first elected as the MP for Saint John—Rothesay in 2015. Wayne was on the PROC committee in the last Parliament and voted yes to the motion to study a National Citizens' Assembly on Electoral Reform. He also made this commitment to constituents in the last election campaign: Now, as a part of my 2021 Riding-First Platform, I am proud to commit to building upon this work in the last two Parliaments by:- Re-introducing a motion to advance a National Citizens’ Assembly on Electoral Reform at committee (this will ensure that the work on this issue continues in the next Parliament);- Introducing a Democratic Reform Act designed to rein in party discipline, empower individual Members of Parliament, and bring increased transparency and accountability to federal party caucuses and leadership structures; and- Establishing an All-Party Electoral Reform Caucus to advocate for the introduction of a form of proportional representation at the federal level.𝐌𝐢𝐤𝐞 𝐌𝐨𝐫𝐫𝐢𝐜𝐞, 𝐆𝐫𝐞𝐞𝐧 𝐌𝐏 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐊𝐢𝐭𝐜𝐡𝐞𝐧𝐞𝐫 𝐂𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐫𝐞Mike Morrice was first elected as the MP for Kitchener Centre in 2021. Mike had proportional representation in his platform during the 2019 election and a priority item in the 2021 election.Since being elected, Mike has advocated for proportional representation on Unpublished Ottawa, and in his reflections on Facebook connecting electoral reform and environmental progress from COP 26. Mike speaks frequently about the need to collaborate across party lines. We are excited to have these three MPs join us to discuss how we can build momentum for real progress in this minority Parliament!
