According to Senior Vice-President Doug Anderson, “Canadians rarely beg for an election, but this data is clearly showing that the preference is to wait. Certainly, if one is going to be triggered in the near-term, whichever party leader is perceived to be pressing for it will have to convince voters it is time for one. Even among their own supporters, there is no consensus in any party that an election should be held immediately. These results provide more evidence that Canadians want to see this Parliament find a way to work together and get on with the task of governing.”
