Petition to the Government of Canada
  Whereas:
  
    Accountability and transparency are the two main pillars of good governance;
    The Canadian government has no external tools to hold politicians accountable, particularly with respect to election promises;
    The Canadian electoral process lacks integrity because it is not based on Proportional Representation;
    Attempts to reform the electoral process have failed (e.g. Citizens’ Assembly on Electoral Reform, 2004); and
    An Integrity Committee that reports to the public on a regular basis with respect to the integrity of elections and elected officials is essential to the establishment of accountability, transparency, and good governance.
  
  
    We, the undersigned, residents of Canada, call upon the Government of Canada to create an arms-length Integrity Committee.
