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 After allowing for blanks, duplications and those submissions that were later withdrawn by the people who sent them, the real total is 1,603.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

THOMPSON-1276

I am disturbed to learn that STV might be the system that is put to referendum because it will most certainly not be accepted by 60% of the voting public and we will be stuck with our current system for years and years to come. [1 page]

NORTH-OCONNELL-1275

My support of a Mixed Member Proportional [MMP] voting system is based on my belief that all people need a voice in how our provincial affairs are governed, even though it will likely mean that our ridings are slightly larger, [1 page]

YOUNGREEN-1274

The current electoral system only represents a quantity of assent & not the complexities inherent in our society. Majority representation coupled with proportional representation [MMP] provides a balance of political realities. [1 page]

CUNNINGHAM-1273

If we want to call ourselves a democracy, than minority interests need representation too, and currently, they can not get it by voting. Please vote for change. [1 page]
