Ed Broadbent moved, — That the committee recommend that the government launch a process of electoral reform that would begin no later than September 1, 2005 and be completed by February 17, 2006. The process would involve a Special Parliamentary Committee and a Citizens’ Consultation Committee. The Parliamentary Committee would hold hearings across the country consulting with experts, citizens’ associations, business and trade union groups, academics and other organizations interested in electoral reform. The Citizens’ Consultation Committee would conduct a deliberative process with citizens to determine what values and principles Canadians would like to see embodied in their electoral system. Two-thirds of the way through the consultative process the two committees would hold a three day session together during which they would share with each other their preliminary conclusions. The two committees would continue with their respective undertakings. In mid January 2006 the Citizens’ Consultation Committee would publish its conclusions in a final report released to the public. After taking into consideration the report of the Citizens’ Consultation Committee the Parliamentary Committee would makes its final recommendations for electoral reform in a report to the House by February 17, 2006.
