Electoral reform advocate pleased with legislation

A local Fair Vote Canada representative is praising the NDP government for making good on a promise.

Ann Remnant is happy legislation has been introduced for a referendum on changing the election system in BC.

She was disappointed the federal Liberals broke a similar promise but says it doesn’t matter who gets there first.

Remnant says she’s optimistic voters will decide to do away with the first-past-the-post system.
