SUBMISSIONS FROM THE PUBLIC

Members of the public sent to the Assembly a total of 1,603 public submissions during the 13 months ended 27 September 2004. And you can access them all lower down on this page.

Incidentally, the numbers on the submissions appear to show that there are 1,669 of them. After allowing for blanks, duplications and those submissions that were later withdrawn by the people who sent them, the real total is 1,603. Unfortunately, we cannot renumber the submissions to reflect that.

If a posted submission is dated after 27 September, that date refers to the date the submission was processed and posted to the website, not the date it was received. 

To help you navigate through the 1,603 submissions received from the public, here are:
  1. An introduction to the submissions, available as a Word document (40KB) or as a PDF document (110KB).
  2. A link to the View Submissions page, where you can read and/or search 1,603 submissions
  3. A complete list of the submissions and their abstracts, available as an Excel spreadsheet (472KB) or as a PDF (348KB)
  4. A guide to the longer submissions (i.e., 80 submissions that run four or more pages in length). This guide is available as a Word document (36KB) or as a PDF file (96KB).
  5. A list of the 80 longer submissions, indexed by electoral system and including abstracts. This list is available as an Excel spreadsheet (40KB) or as a PDF item (90KB).

ADAMS-0806

I would like to see BC develop a system like Germany has [MMP].  The system should be province-wide, not different from region to region.  [1 page]

ADAMS-0853

Representation based on the proportion of votes received [PR] is a means of attaining a much needed balance in our Provincial legislature and across the country, enhancing the representation of women and minority groups. [3 pages]

ADAMS-1387

'I want to add my voice to other and urge you not to abandon the first-past-the-post system we have now in the province.'  [4 pages]

ADOLPH-1559

I adcovate proportional representation because with PR, those elected would have to communicate instead of shouting past each other.  Then perhaps more people on the fringe would have their concerns listened to. [1 page]

AFFLECK-0897

I would like to put in a word for proportional representation [PR]. The Green Party won 12% of the vote at the last BC election but no seats as a result of the current outdated and unfair system.  [1 page]
