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 After allowing for blanks, duplications and those submissions that were later withdrawn by the people who sent them, the real total is 1,603.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

BURGESS-0624

I favour MMP with non-constituency seats making up no more than 35% of the total seats, with a threshold of 5%. We should try to find ways to make the selection process for party representatives more inclusive and effective. [1 page]

BURKOSKY-1386

I favour some form of proportional representation [PR] and to move to this system as quickly as possible.  The current system does not adequately represent the diversity of ideas and values held by the electorate. [1 page]

BURNETT-0940

A PR-List electoral system requiring all parties to run candidates in all 79 ridings.  Once a party vote has been made, a voter much choose one candidate from each of the party lists.  These choices determine the party list rankings. [2 pages]

BURRITT-1165

I would like to see mixed member proportional representation [MMP] given a try in British Columbia. This seems to be the best way to allow the popular vote to be represented in the legislature, while keeping local representation. [1 page]
