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 After allowing for blanks, duplications and those submissions that were later withdrawn by the people who sent them, the real total is 1,603.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

BOYCE-1038

I would like to see proportional representation [PR] implemented. There are many forms of PR, many of which would be appropriate, the main goal would be for the popular vote to be counted towards each party. [1 page]

BOYCHUK-0628

I favour PR because it gives all viewpoints a voice in the legislature. Failing that, I like the model where voters rank the candidates (one for first choice, 2 for second etc) and the one with the lowest score is elected [Borda].  [1 page]

BOYCHUK-1376

At present only the majority is represented in our riding.  We need a way for all views to be counted.  At this time, I believe that a system of proportional representation [PR] would give me the best option to achieve this goal. [1 page]

My prefence is for the New Zealand system - MMP. It seems the best method and the easiest for people to follow.   Thank you all for all your great work on this subject.  [1 page]

BRADFORD-1289

I support mixed proportional representation [MMP] and urge your members to also support it; it is the simplest and most direct way to address the inequalities in the system.  [1 page]
