"en": "<p data-HoCid=\"4693005\" data-originallang=\"en\">Mr. Speaker, the Special Committee on Electoral Reform has good advice about asking questions regarding electoral reform. I am sure members have started to read the report which says:</p>\n<blockquote><p data-HoCid=\"4693006\" data-originallang=\"en\"> Finally, the Committee was told numerous times that there is no perfect electoral system as different systems emphasize different values. </p>\n</blockquote><p data-HoCid=\"4693007\" data-originallang=\"en\">Recognizing there is no perfect system, the committee used the values and principles set out in the mandate to develop its recommendations on electoral reform.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"4693008\" data-originallang=\"en\">MyDemocracy.ca is about empowering Canadians to have their say about electoral reform. I encourage all members of this House, and Canadians, to get involved.</p>",
