B 11. Is there any role for the MLA during the signature collection period?
The Recall and Initiative Act is silent on the role of the MLA. In some cases observers have been appointed by the MLA to monitor the proponent’s canvassers. Elections BC does not register observers as they do canvassers. It is understood that observers are not to interfere with the canvassing activities and stay a respectful distance from canvassers and individuals wishing to sign a petition.
