Submission Content
This is a short submission to say that, as an individual citizen, I strongly support the implementation of "pro-rep" (proportional representation) in BC. The engagement of all citizens in the political process is declining in BC, but this is particularly true of women and youth. There is ample evidence to show that both will participate more if our system of engagement is more representative of not only regional collective votes, but the number of votes overall. Pro-rep will achieve that.
