Yukon MP apologizes to voters whose hearts were set on electoral reform


Yukon MP Larry Bagnell has apologized to to voters who are frustrated that the federal Liberals have abandoned their commitment to electoral reform. Liberal leader Justin Trudeau promised, during the 2015 election campaign, that it would be the last first-past-the-post election if he was elected. On Thursday, during a public event in Iqaluit, he said he's concerned a proportional voting system could "augment extremist voices." Bagnell said he's received emails from disappointed Yukon voters who are passionate about electoral reform. Yukon Senator Dan Lang says Liberals didn't handle the electoral reform process well.
