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 After allowing for blanks, duplications and those submissions that were later withdrawn by the people who sent them, the real total is 1,603.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

BUTLER-0706

I support a proportional representation form of government in Canada, similar to the model in New Zealand [MMP].  [1 page]
Category: Electoral system change
Author: Maureen Butler

BUTT-1592

I support some type of proportional representation [PR], but where the MLAs continue to be responsible to us, the voters, between elections. [2 pages]

BUTTENHAM-0727

I support the MMP system of voting.  Fairness is having all votes count. Having two votes, one for local representation and one based on party policies would reflect community based needs, as well as a preference for party. [1 page]

BYERS-0820

I hope you will recommend some form of proportional representation [PR]. Under the current system, my vote counts for very little and the number of MLAs elected bears no resemblance to the wishes of the people. [1 page]

BYERS-1492

I would like to state my strong support for electoral reform that will establish a responsive, representative legislature.  My preference is for Mixed Member Proportional representation [MMP], with an open party list. [1 page]
