Section 3 – Policy Initiatives & 2025 Deliverables
11. Democratic and Electoral Reform
The Parties will work together to create a special legislative all-party committee to evaluate and recommend policy and legislation measures to be pursued beginning in 2026 to increase democratic engagement & voter participation, address increasing political polarization, and improve the representativeness of government. The committee will review and consider preferred methods of proportional representation as part of its deliberations. The Government will work with the BCGC to establish the detailed terms of reference for this review, which are subject to the approval of both parties. The terms of reference will include the ability to receive expert and public input, provide for completion of the Special Committee’s work in Summer 2025, and public release of the Committee’s report within 45 days of completion. The committee will also review the administration of the 43rd provincial general election, including consideration of the Chief Electoral Officer’s report on the 43rd provincial general election, and make recommendations for future elections.
I don’t understand your understanding of the history of the PC and CPC parties. As far as I understand the opposite occurred. The moderate party was the PC party. It ceased to exist and the leadership of the extreme party Stephen Harper of Reform became the leadership of the new CPC party. The CPC party is a more extreme right wing party than the PC party. And if you’ve followed their policy stances over the years, they’ve been getting more extreme, every time they failed to win as moderates. Pierre has much more extreme positions on the economy and climate than Harper, or Andrew Scheer had. Trudeau introduced the carbon tax scheme, originally proposed by Harper, which Andrew Scheer rejected as some radical, industry killing policy. And today they have no policy on it at all other than “no carbon tax and no cap-and-trade systems.” So I don’t see moderation, I see the opposite.
BTW, I’m not down voting you.
