The Electoral Reform Committee Meetings are to be broadcast on CPAC, which we can watch online at http://www.cpac.ca/en/ or on your local cable tv broadcast [find your CPAC channel here]
Every time the Electoral Reform Committee meets they are inviting the public to submit questions on Twitter at #ERRE #Q.
One way we can participate in the process is to tweet questions or comments during the committee meetings.
