[FONT="]Today, I’m here to announce what real change looks like.[/FONT]
[FONT="]I'm here to talk about our comprehensive plan to modernize government. It starts with openness and transparency. We’ll make transparency a fundamental principle of our government. We’ll strengthen the role of MPs, introduce more free votes and reform Question Period to make it more relevant. The Prime Minister should be regularly answering questions from all MPs, not just party leaders. You know, it’s called the House of Commons. Not because what happens there is commonplace. It’s anything but. It’s remarkable. The word “commons” reminds us that it’s a place that belongs to everyone equally. Where each of us has a voice. Where opinions and ideas are expressed and debated because they matter. As part of a national engagement process, we will ensure that electoral reform measures – such as ranked ballots, proportional representation, mandatory voting, and online voting – are fully and fairly studied and considered. And within 18 months of forming government, we will bring forward legislation to enact electoral reform. My friends, let’s continue the work we’ve started.[/FONT]
