Before his Coalition Avenir Québec party came to power in the provincial election on Oct. 1, 2018, François Legault joined other opposition leaders in signing a commitment to legislate proportional representation.
Asked then if he might be tempted to “do a Justin Trudeau,” i.e., renege on his promise to adopt proportional representation, Legault replied, “No. We will keep all our promises.”
Running as leader of Canada’s second opposition party behind the NDP in 2015, Trudeau promised it would be Canada’s last under the first-past-the-post voting system, proposing instead a ranked-ballot system, in which voters pick candidates in order of preference.
