If we are going to look at electoral reform, we must also look at the process and the substance. As we go forward with the process, we must engage Canadians.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"248540\" data-originallang=\"en\">As I said in my speech, I am very disappointed to see the lack of participation in young Canadians. I have four children and I know that many of their friends think it is far more productive to join a non-government organization like Greenpeace or some environmental group rather than join in formalized politics. We need to do everything we can to continue to be meaningful to Canadians.</p>",

Si nous voulons instaurer une r\u00e9forme \u00e9lectorale, nous devons aussi nous pencher sur le processus et la substance. Tandis que nous cheminerons dans le processus, nous devrons faire intervenir les Canadiens.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"248540\" data-originallang=\"en\">Comme je l'ai dit dans mon discours, je suis tr\u00e8s d\u00e9\u00e7ue du faible taux de participation des jeunes Canadiens. J'ai quatre enfants, et je sais que beaucoup de leurs amis croient qu'il est beaucoup plus avantageux de faire partie d'une ONG comme Greenpeace, ou d'un autre groupe environnemental quelconque, que de s'engager dans la politique proprement dite. Nous devons faire tout notre possible pour que la politique continue d'int\u00e9resser les Canadiens. </p>"
