Trudeau backs down on efforts to stack the committee in the Liberals' favour.
Of course, it's still stacked in favour of the presumption something needs to change, but at least Trudeau gets to claim he cares about a 'better system'.

Still, even the makeup of this committee demonstrates how ridiculous rep by pop - which the NDP claimed they wanted - can become, at least in a small scale:
Elizabeth May, with only 3.4% of the popular vote has no business on this committee at all,
and she certainly does not deserve equivalent power to the Bloc, which had nearly six times the popular support. Meanwhile, the NDP gave themselves twice the power of the Bloc, despite the same level of support. You can bet the NDP proposed this makeup because (a) it still gives the Liberals and NDP an absolute majority when they combine power, and (b) swapped a Bloc seat for May to further enhance same.
