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 After allowing for blanks, duplications and those submissions that were later withdrawn by the people who sent them, the real total is 1,603.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

BOON-1256

I support the work of the Citizens' Assembly and the basic concept of proportional representation [PR].  I am concerned that a political party appears to be trying to hijack a specifically non-partisan process. [2 pages]

BOOTH -0374

I suggest a Mixed Member Proportional [MMP] type system similar to that of New Zealand.  British Columbia should provide leadership in Canada in this kind of voting system.  [1 page]

BOOY-0124

Canadians need more incentive to vote at election; government could give tax breaks and other such incentives to ensure people are making full use of their democratic rights. [1 page]

BORLE-0470

I am impressed with the Nick Loenen's system, but whatever system is recommended, we must ensure that smaller parties, such as the Green Party, the Unity Party and any other party that may materialize, can have some representation. [2 pages]

BOSS-0521

After reading about several different types of voting systems, it seems to me that the fairest is the Mixed Member Proportional [MMP] system with open lists so that voters can rank the candidates on the list.`[1 page]
