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 After allowing for blanks, duplications and those submissions that were later withdrawn by the people who sent them, the real total is 1,603.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

DAHL-1537

I am realizing more and more that this reform reaches every aspect of our citizens' lives.  No quick fixes please.  [4 pages]

HAWKINS-1536

I support electoral reform in BC and favour proportional representation [PR].  Since we are a democracy, each party should receive the percentage of the pie they are mandated for by the people's vote. [1 page]

SENAY-1535

Though not perfect, the MMP system by far transcends our present antiquated, adversarial, and usally disproportionate voting system.  MMP would ensure elected governments that more accurately represented voters' wishes. [1 page]

BARNES-1533

I believe that the MMP system would be the best system to adopt in BC.  It would allow for both regional as well as party representation in our legislature.  It would also make my vote (and everyone else's) count for something. [2 pages]

PEMBROKE-1532

I favour an MMP electoral system with 53 constituency seats and 26 party list seats.  Parties must run candidates in at least 50% of the constituencies to qualify for list seats, and parties must select list candidates democratically. [1 page]
