That key quote is mostly bullshit.
The study resulted in a clear recommendation for MMP, with a few options as to how to implement it. Most of the other parties in the parliamentary committee said they’d agree with recommendations. Then Trudeau said “No we’re not doing that, we’re going to go with ranked ballots or nothing at all.”
So the only lack of consensus was that Trudeau personally wanted something other than what the experts said would be best for Canada.
