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 After allowing for blanks, duplications and those submissions that were later withdrawn by the people who sent them, the real total is 1,603.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).

The concept of every part of the Province having a voice is still valid — even basic — and from it the idea of one body being equal to one vote has become firmly embedded in our minds.  But it need not always be so. [2 pages]

CURRIE-0742

Please consider proportional representation as I believe that the wishes of Canadian citizens would be better served by this model (similar to MMP in New Zealand) than the current one. [1 page]

Our group supports PR as the preferred voting system for BC. It is a system widely used in democracies around the world and has a proven track record to produce the most representative and fair outcome in general elections. [1 page]

CURTIS-1136

If BC is to abandon the first past the post electoral system, then some form of MMP must be adopted province wide. Using different methods depending on whether the riding was urban or rural (STV) must be rejected. [1 page]
