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and those submissions that were later withdrawn by the people who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

I do not feel the rights and wishes of the people of BC are
being fairly or adequately met. I like the idea of the number of
seats in the legislature being proportional to the
number of votes received at election time [PR]. [1

The Assembly should seriously consider
proportional representation [PR]. Here in BC, the party
that had 56% of the vote ended up with 98% of the seats, and in
1991 the Liberals had most votes but fewer seats that the
NDP. [1 page]
