Roundtable Discussion: Popular Participation in Changing Electoral Systems in Canada and its Provinces

In PEI, after public consultation, a Commission's proposal for a new electoral system will be placed before the people in November. A similar process is expected to follow the recent tabling of a report by New Brunswick's Commission on Electoral Reform. Meanwhile, in Quebec, a bill recently proposed by the provincial government to change its electoral system should find its way into law before the end of the year. Most significantly, in BC, the people voted May 17th, 2005 in a referendum whether to implement a new electoral system proposed by an Assembly of 160 citizens.

The roundtable will analyze the process and its result, bringing together Canadian scholars who have closely observed these developments.
