Mr. Speaker, I have a quick question for the member for Vancouver Kingsway. The NDP has held power in many provinces in the country always under a majority ranked system. While it has been a platform plank of the NDP for as long as I can remember to influence proportional, in the six or seven provinces where they had majorities, they have not attempted to implement the system. I am wondering if the member could address why that might have been.

Monsieur le Président, j'aimerais que le député de Vancouver Kingsway réponde à une brève question. Le NPD a été au pouvoir dans de nombreuses provinces et, chaque fois, il a été élu grâce au régime de type majoritaire. Même si, d'aussi loin que je me souvienne, l'instauration d'un régime proportionnel a toujours figuré dans le programme néo-démocrate, dans les six ou sept provinces où il a formé un gouvernement majoritaire, le NPD n'a jamais rien fait pour donner suite à sa proposition. Le député pourrait-il nous expliquer pourquoi?
