Dear Saanich
South Residents,
The BC
Legislature’s Special Committee on Local Elections Expense Limits is
currently conducting public consultations on principles for local elections
expense limits.
In
particular, the Committee is examining principles for the relationship between
elector organizations and their candidates with respect to expense limits and
principles for establishing expense limits for third party advertisers,
including whether there should be an overarching, cumulative limit on third
party spending such as exists in provincial general elections.
Public
consultation opportunities include written submissions, video and audio file
submissions and participating in an online questionnaire – all available on the
Committee’s website at http://www.leg.bc.ca/cmt/leel/index.asp
In
addition, presentation opportunities are still available. There is one in
Victoria:
Wednesday,
November 19, 2014 –
10:00 am – 12 noon
Douglas Fir Committee Room (Room 226), Parliament Buildings, Victoria
With thanks to the
Deputy Clerk Kate Ryan-Lloyd.
Lana
