FAIR VOTE CANADA CAUCUSES
Labour for Fair Voting
Contact: John Deverell, devj at sympatico.ca
The mandate of the Labour for Fair Voting caucus is to advance the FVC mission in labour organizations, promoting individual memberships, gaining organization support and donations.
Women for Fair Voting
Contact: June Macdonald, june.macdonald at fairvote.ca
This group will focus on promoting proportional representation as a means of increasing the number and percentage of women serving in Parliament and provincial legislatures. Numerous studies have shown that the lists used in all PR systems help facilitate both the nomination and election of more women than first-past-the-post systems, such as Canada's.
