Canada has already given too much power to the PM of the Party in power; this is precisely why, looking south, we need PR.
The ERRÉ process was not driven by FVC, in fact it was (likely) deliberately driven around FVC. They made a submission that was ignored like everyone else’s. Including the committee.
This blog is laden with citations in the resources section:
You can find and read for yourself the ERRÉ report (and those that preceeded it in recent decades) here:

The ERRÉ Committee chose to compromise: their recommendation was PR. Mr. Trudeau could have chosen any he liked ~ including Mr. Dion’s made-for-Liberal’s P3 system ~ and tweaked it to favour his party as much as possible. He chose not to. He could have chosen PR without a referendum, or a confirming referendum after a few elections.
There is still time for him to relent; we might still get PR in place before 2019. If he chooses to hang tough in spite of the foolishness of driving away not just the strategic voting crowd, but his actual Liberal base, I doubt there will be a subsequent LPC majority. There might, however be a CPC majority.
