SUMMARY

The purpose of this enactment is to provide for the consideration of proportional representation in the House of Commons. A report will be prepared by an all-party committee after public hearings.

A referendum will be held and the question shall be whether electors favour replacing the present system with a system proposed by the committee as concurred in by the House.

The referendum may be held either before or at the same time as the next general election.
