Gerretsen joins Kingston Senator Hugh Segal in supporting the change as well showing not just Liberals and New Democrats are supporting the change.
Gerretsen also represents a "later" generation supporting the Mixed-Member Proportional vote. He said in the above article that,
"Nobody is ever 100-per-cent right and nobody is every 100-per-cent wrong," he said. "Governing is the art of compromise. There's nothing wrong with having the governing party take into account smaller parties."
The new system will have a threshold limit of 3% of votes province-wide necessary before a party can be represented at Queen's Park.
