Madam Speaker, I find it interesting when the Conservatives talk so much about efficiency and the resources of the House. Maybe we could talk about how that balance is created, in terms of what we are trying to do today, in terms of passing some legislation and having that meaningful discussion, not hurting democracy but expanding democracy, having the conversations that are needed and doing so in a balanced way to ensure that we can be as efficient as possible and financially efficient as well.

Mr. Speaker, I thank my colleague from Manicouagan for her speech. I would like to ask her if she believes that the Standing Committee on Procedure and House Affairs should look into the issue of creating a mixed-member proportional voting system and a citizens' assembly. Would that help the democratic reform discussion that we are having today in the House?
