 The Premier has denied the people of Chilliwack-Hope and Port
Moody-Coquitlam representation in the Legislature for too long.

In September of 2011, the BC Liberal MLA for Port Moody-Coquitlam quit to
take a job at the Vancouver Board of Trade. Ever since then, the 45,995
residents of Port Moody-Coquitlam have been without a representative in the
BC Legislature.

In January, the BC Liberal MLA for Chilliwack-Hope also resigned, leaving
43,720 constituents without a voice.

*Today, 90,000 British Columbians have no elected representative because
Premier Christy Clark refuses to call these by-elections.*

In the meantime, she is spending large amounts of taxpayers’ money on
government ads in these two constituencies.

Whether it was debate over the provincial budget, or the daily question
period - it has been too long since more than 90,000 constituents have had
a representative in the Legislature.

*Premier Clark has a track record on election delays.*

Last year, she served as an un-elected Premier for 3 months before calling
a by-election in Vancouver-Point Grey.

Today, Premier Clark’s government is without a mandate from British
Columbians.

Now she's continuing to defy basic democratic representation by denying the
residents of Chilliwack-Hope and Port Moody-Coquitlam a by-election.

Join our call for an immediate by-election and the return of representative
democracy to Chilliwack-Hope and Port Moody-Coquitlam.
*Send Christy Clark a message right now demanding that she call these
by-elections immediately:*

*And please take a moment to share this campaign with your friends and
family:*

    <https://secure.bcndp.org/drupal/sites/all/modules/civicrm/extern/url.php?u=166739&qid=19048724>

Isn’t it time that the citizens of Chilliwack, Hope, Coquitlam, Port Moody,
and 58 other communities had their representatives?

*Send Christy Clark a message right
now.*<https://secure.bcndp.org/drupal/sites/all/modules/civicrm/extern/url.php?u=166737&qid=19048724>
