ORDERS OF THE DAY — Continued
No. 30 — Thursday, March 13, 2008 — 10 a.m.
39 The Hon. M. de Jong to move —
Be it resolved that this House believes the electoral map for the Province of British Columbia must reflect a balance between the need for reasonable and effective representation and the constitutional requirement for relative voter parity; and, further, believes that none of the 12 regions identified in the Electoral Boundaries Commission’s preliminary report of August 15, 2007 should have its existing level of representation reduced under a new electoral map; and, accordingly, approves the establishment of an electoral map for the Province of British Columbia that will include 85 electoral districts on the following basis:
Adoption of the proposals contained in the report of the Electoral Boundaries Commission as contained in its report entitled Amendment to the Preliminary Report (February 14, 2008), (“the Report”) with the following alterations:
a) The proposals for the North and Cariboo-Thompson Regions are not approved and the alternatives contained in Appendix P of the Report relating to these regions are approved in their place.
