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and those submissions that were later withdrawn by the people who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.

We urge the Citizen's Assembly to recommend a Mixed Member
Proportional (MMP) system for BC. This system would result in
better political representation of the citizens of BC, and allow
smaller parties to gain seats in the legislature. [1 page]

Provincially, the preference is for an MMP system with one-half
of the MLAs elected in electoral districts and the remaining seats
elected on the basis of party affiliation in proportion to the
number of votes obtained by each party. [1 page]

Other forms of PR would work for us, but MMP would be a good
stepping stone for BC voters. It is one of the easiest versions of
Proportional Representation to understand; later we can
assess its strengths and weaknesses. [2 pages]
