Few people turned out

for meet on recall issue

TERRACE — Opinions on

recall and initiative are evenly
split, says the chairman of a com-
mittee examining the two issues.

Some objections heard by the.
commiltee of MLAs include the
possibility of regional voting {m-
balances, mechanisms to avoid
manipulations and financial con-
tributions, said Ujjal Dosanjh, an
NDP MLA from the lower main-~
land.

He noted that spending limits
may be required so that ‘‘big
money does noi have an overrid-
ing role in the outcome of these
questions.’’ :

The committee was here May
27 for a public meeting on the
two topics. .

Recall and initiative were intro-
duced in the October 1991
provincial election, when two
questions were posed on voting
ballots.

The recall question asked if
voters should be given the right to
vote lo remove an MLA between
elections,

The initiative question asked if
voters should be given the right to
propose questions that the BC
government would have to submit
to a referendum.

Both issues were given an over-
whelmingly positive . response
with 80. per cent of voters in
favour of the measures.

But only five people showed up
in Terrace and most were against
the two ideas, says the clerk in
charge of the commitlec.

One of the speakers, Frank
Rowe, expressed wortties about
the possible effects of recall.

He said that if the recall was
available to the public, then the
fovernment would constantly be
trying to appease special interest

groups.

Terrace was the commmiltce’s
first stop in their tour of the north
which ends in Williams Lake July
8. Earlier meetings were held in
Cranbrook, Kamloops, Penticton,
Kelowna and Vancouver,

Before the committee made its
northern trip, Independent MLA
David Mitchell and Soced MLA
Cliff Serwa dropped out of the
committee because they sald that
progress toward recall and initia-
tives was loo slaw.

Dosanjh said the commitice was
not given the lask to decide when
to implement the proposals, but
rather to take guidance from the
public.

“The reaclion of those two
members can be nothing more
than partisan politics,” he said,

.A final report that includes the

committce’s findings and recom-.

mendations will be given to the
Legislature by the end of 1993.
