What's even worse, Nathan Cullen pointed out that there was 80% consensus for reform when the committee polled Canadians. If 80% isn't consensus, then I would like to know what they want--100%?
The devil is in the details. There is no consensus on the replacement and the distinction matters. It is easy for people to say they want reform in the abstract but when they are given a specific alternative they realize the alternatives have issues too and which problems someone are willing to live with varies from person to person.
