Public consultation meeting on the future of Canadian democracy are beginning this week in the riding of Skeena-Bulkley Valley.

There will also be a telephone town hall on Sept. 19 at 7 p.m. Details on that will be announced soon.

Consultations are happening across Canada as the Liberal government aims to fulfill its election election promise that last fall’s federal election will be the last using the first-past-the-post system.

Cullen said he is also looking at hosting a town hall in Prince George if its Conservative MPs there do not.
