<div dir="ltr">Thank you for making those important connections in your letter Jay. <div><br></div><div>Some of us are going door to door with a petition in support of Nathan Cullen's motion for parliament to adopt the <span class="" id=":105.11" tabindex="-1">ERRE</span> committee's recommendations. The response at the door is very encouraging. The majority of people, ( 60-70%), sign the petition which asks Raj to vote for the motion. So many more people are aware of the issue, why it is important and what the range of consequences might be if we don't get this right than were aware of the issue say, two years ago.</div><div><br></div><div>People understand fairness & equality and they understand what a broken promise means. When an issue as dusty and seemingly remote as electoral reform is explained in a concrete manner,ie the majority of <span class="" id=":105.13" tabindex="-1">Cdns</span>. are getting shafted and will continue to get shafted until we get an electoral system which translates the greatest possible number of votes into representation, people get it.</div><div><br></div><div>Thanks for the letter Jay.
