"This is a positive first step towards what we hope will be meaningful democratic reform for Canadians,� said NDP Critic Democratic Reform, Nathan Cullen. "The important victory that we secured today means that all Canadians will be better heard through this process.�

The vast majority of Canadians have expressed that they want to move beyond the current winner-take-all, First Past the Post system.
