Trudeau says abandoning electoral reform is his biggest regret. Here’s how it happened [Video]

While taking questions after announcing he would be stepping down as prime minister on Monday, Justin Trudeau was asked to give an example of a regret he had from his time in office.

The prime minister conceded that he could probably think of “many regrets,” but he listed one in particular — not moving forward on electoral reform.

“If I have one regret, particularly as we approach this election … I do wish that we’d been able to change the way we elect our governments in this country so that people could choose a second choice or a third choice on the same ballot,” he said.

“Parties would spend more time trying to be people’s second or third choices and people would be looking for things they have in common rather than trying to polarize and divide Canadians against each other.”
