Senator Aseltine feels that in the peculiar conditions that prevail in Canada at the present time, and which are likely to be with us in fitt- ure elections, the government should take the matter up before Parliament prorogues. It has an example before it in Manitoba, where a sin- gle ¢ran5f¢rabl¢ vote system has been in effect since i924. A study of the results of Mani- toba elections since that time would do much to clarify a subject which has not been ade- quately discussed throughout the country.
