DELIBERATION PHASE, Weekend 6

Members of B.C.'s Citizens' Assembly on Electoral Reform wrapped up their 11-month mission on 28 November 2004, with some last-lap drafting of their final report, and announced that a copy of the report will be sent in the last half of January to every household in B.C.

The Assembly also had its first visit from Premier Gordon Campbell. He presented each member on November 27 with a commemorative certificate and, in turn, thanked them for their gift to the people of B.C.

"You came with open minds. You came with open hearts. You came ready to listen to people. . . Your diligence, your determination, have been exceptional. . . . It is a great gift you have given to all of us. You have given new life to public life in B.C."

Assembly members also fine-tuned the question they have drafted for the referendum. It now reads:

The Assembly held its last meeting Sunday November 28, capping six fall weekends of deliberation and decision-making.
