by David Coon followed by a panel discussion on electoral reform.

Date: Thursday, November 15

Time: 7 – 9 pm

Place:  O’Dell Park Lodge  397 Rookwood Ave.  Fredericton

Speakers:

David Coon - MLA Fredericton South

         Update on the most recent minority government;

         The election and  the myth that our voting system leads to sound stable government;   

         The difference between a coalition government and a minority government propped up by other parties issue by issue;

         Green MLA Kevin Arseneau’s motion on Proportional Representation;

         ... and more.

Brenda Oslawsky  - VP Fair Vote Canada and Fair Vote PEI

            What can we learn from the PEI experience: the PEI referendum, success then rejection by the Liberal government 

             and the referendum in 2019.
