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and those submissions that were later withdrawn by the people who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

When I heard about proportional represention [PR] I realized
that it addressed my previous conerns about
our government's ability to truly represent its people.
I now think that PR is the only way our government can be for the
people. [2 pages]

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]

When I vote I want my vote to count. The present
system makes me feel disenfranchised. Surely there is a
better system. [1 page]
