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and those submissions that were later withdrawn by the people who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

Democracy in BC can only gain back some lustre by attacking the
waste of 79 representatives who use the resources of our Province
for self-aggrandizement while eroding services to the people who
need them. [2 pages]

I would like to see a seperate vote for our MLAs and
the Premier. I may want to vote for one person for Premier but I
may want someone else for my MLA -- similar to the American system
I suppose. [1 page]

Since every vote will count under an MMP system, I believe it
will inspire interest in elections and good government, and will
help provide greater political stability. [1 page]
