Ottawa residents were having a chance to be heard during a townhall on electoral reform hosted by Ottawa-Centre MP Catherine McKenna at the at Tom Brown Arena on Tuesday night.
Canadians had until last Friday to make a formal submission to a special all-party committee of MPs tasked with submitting recommendations to the federal government.
In the meantime, MPs who sit on the special parliamentary committee have been criss-crossing the country to consult with Canadians.
The Trudeau government vowed that the federal election of 2015 would be the last time Canadians would vote in a general election using the first-past-the-post system.
But interim Conservative leader Rona Ambrose continues to call on the Liberal government to hold a referendum as the only legitimate way to reform the electoral system.

A poll conducted this month by Mainstreet Research for Postmedia showed nearly two in three Ottawa residents support changing the way Canadians vote.
Sixty-four per cent of poll respondents favoured some form of electoral reform; 17 per cent said they preferred the current first-past-the-post system.
The Mainstreet/Postmedia poll surveyed a random sample of 866 Ottawa residents by landline and cellphone on Oct. 1 and 2. It carries a margin of error of plus or minus 3.33 percentage points, 19 times out of 20.
