The 2015 Liberal platform said 2015 would be the last federal election under first-past-the-post. It also said the plan would return Canada to a balanced budget in 2019.

The special committee presented its electoral-reform report on 1 December 2016. The House voted the report down on 31 May 2017.

That day in the House, the minister said changing the electoral system was not in her mandate.
