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 After allowing for blanks, duplications and those submissions that were later withdrawn by the people who sent them, the real total is 1,603.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

ALPEN-1585

I would recommend that the members read the novel In the Wet by Neville Shute. It presents an interesting idea for voter reform.  [1 page]

BONNOR-1590

I believe the Mixed Member Proportional [MMP] System would provide the best electoral system for BC, helping to address regional inequities such as the rural/urban split and provide a means of making every vote count. [1 page]

MACANULTY-1609

I have been impressed by the way the Citizens' Assembly has been run and by the dedicated effort that the members have put in. I don't know what to make of some recent lobbying, but it certainly complicates the process. [2 pages]

WAY-1628

I would like to add my voice to those caling for electoral reform. In particular, I agree that some form of Mixed Member Proportional Representation [MMP], with a minimum limit to get seats, would be a good choice for BC. [1 page]

POWELL-1617

Electors in BC and municipal elections should not need to be Canadian citizens. It is proper for federal elections to exclude non-citizens but, resident non-citizen property owners are affected by measures affecting their property. [1 page]
