It is with great pride that I announce that I have been summoned to testify before the Parliamentary Committee on Bill 39, which aims to introduce a new voting system in Quebec. This is the first time that a representative of the Green Party of Quebec will be formally heard by a parliamentary commission in the 35 years of its existence.

I intend to make the most of my intervention to remind the government and Minister Lebel that it is essential that Premier Legault respect the agreement he signed with myself and other leaders ahead of the 2018 election, in which he committed to implementing a PROPORTIONAL voting system.

The Bill 39 we have before us today certainly proposes a reform of the voting system, but the system announced is not proportional as stipulated in the agreement. I hope the government will listen to reason and make several important changes to this bill.

Alex Tyrrell
Leader of the Green Party of Quebec
