BRAMPTON, Ont. — Justin Trudeau says he remains "deeply committed" to reforming Canada's voting system.
The prime minister is reaffirming his commitment one day after he appeared to be laying the groundwork for reneging on his promise that the 2015 federal election would be the last conducted under first-past-the-post.
Trudeau says he looks forward to the recommendations of a special all-party committee that has been exploring alternatives to the existing voting system.
One year later, we're focused on delivering for Canada's middle class, and those working hard to join it. Thank you for your support. pic.twitter.com/Qar09yvsnU

The committee is to report by Dec. 1.
On Wednesday, Trudeau told Montreal's Le Devoir newspaper that electoral reform will require "substantial" support.
At the same time, however, he mused that the public clamour for reform has subsided since the Liberals defeated Stephen Harper's Conservatives one year ago.
