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 After allowing for blanks, duplications and those submissions that were later withdrawn by the people who sent them, the real total is 1,603.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

MCGILLIVRAY-1426

I am in favour of an MMP system to make the legislature better reflect the actual votes cast.  It would include approximately 2/3 local constituency candidates, & 1/3 party list candidates to make up the percentage of vote received. [1 page]

KOTASKA-1425

In the debate about PR, folks often worry about the inability of fringe parties to govern if they ever got into power.  I would like to bring your attention to a less obvious benefit of the system, which has played out in Germany. [1 page]

HALL-1423

The type of preferential ballot that I find appealing is rating those running for office in order of preference; I may vote first for a Liberal 3 points, secondly for the Green Party 2 points and lastly for the NDP 1 point [Borda count]. [1 page]

DAKIN-1422

If you think your vote only counts if it goes only to a major party, what’s the point?  An MMP type system would allow all voters to get the representation they deserve and would avoid some of the pitfalls of the current system. [1 page]
