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 After allowing for blanks, duplications and those submissions that were later withdrawn by the people who sent them, the real total is 1,603.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

DANIEL-1520

It is obvious that the first past the post system operating in BC is undemocratic.  I urge the Assembly to propose a mixed member proportional [MMP] electoral system with open party lists.  [1 page]

DANIELS-0909

The Citizens' Assembly is an official, yet unelected body. I don't like the idea at all that such a body should have standing in influencing how our votes are cast or counted. [1 page]

DAVIDOFF-0539

I propose a system where a certain percentage of ridings have a vote every three months; with elections occuring every three months somewhere in the province, the excesses of government can be controlled. [2 pages]

DAVIS-0502

My reading, and the data that I have collected from friends and family in New Zealand, suggest that, of all the electoral systems, MMP (that is, the method utilized in New Zealand) is that which I would desire. [1 page]
