摘要：The BC Citizens' Assembly: The Public Hearings and Deliberations Stage R.S. Ratner The Final Report of the British Columbia Citizens Assembly on Electoral Reform was presented to the Government on December 10, 2004. A previous article (Summer 2004) covered the establishment of the Assembly, the random selection process for delegates and the learning phase. This article focuses on the Public Hearing experience, the Assemblys Deliberation Phase, and its final report. The Assemblys proposal for a new electoral system will be submitted to the voters in a referendum to be held on May 17, 2005. If it receives 60% of the vote overall and a majority in 60% of the constituencies the government has agreed to introduce legislation to give effect to the CA recommendation.
