The Liberals’ electoral reform exercise — which we learned last week won’t come to fruition — cost a minimum of $4.1 million, according to an analysis of government expenses.
During the campaign, and after being elected, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau repeatedly stated 2015 would mark the last federal election to use the first-past-the-post voting system. The naming of a democratic institutions minister in November 2015 set off more than a year of work related to that promise.
But last week a mandate letter for Karina Gould, the new minister, revealed the government is no longer pursuing a change to Canada’s voting system.
