Establish a special parliamentary committee to consult on electoral reform.

What success looks like

A special parliamentary committee was established.

Government's narrative on progress

A Special Committee, which included all five parties represented in the House of Commons, was established in June 2016 and presented its final report in December 2016. In addition to the consultation undertaken by the Special Committee, the Minister also consulted Members of Parliament of all parties, and oversaw an engagement process with 360,000 Canadians through mydemocracy.ca. Following extensive consultation with Canadians, it was determined that no clear preference for a new electoral system had emerged. The government will not proceed with electoral reform.

Note: this is the government's own description, not an independent assessment.
