text: All of this is probably true. Having begun to read the parliamentary committee's report, there are seemingly other obstacles and challenges. First, the committee promises an ecological or systemic analysis, but fails to look first at the desired role of parliament in the 21st century as a first logical step in analyzing the question of how we might reform the process of choosing members of Parliament. Second, and likely most important, the Parliamentary committee is made up of members of political parties, and their work reflects their fundamental, and seemingly unquestioned, belief in the necessity and importance of political parties in Parliament. Third, there does not appear to be any analysis of the changing nature of Canada in the 21st century, and how this might lead to a changing Parliament, outcomes, functions, and people. Fourth, the two fairness issues (i.e. the local riding vote and the political national vote) become so intertwined that it is impossible to pull them apart.
