The Campbell government has dared the BC Civil Liberties Association to go for it, to challenge the 85 electoral boundaries which increased the number that exceed the 25% average population deviation rule from 4 in the Boundary Commission's recommendation to 11 in the Campbell government's gerrymander. On March 13th Jason Gratl, President of the Civil Liberties Association, said: "If the government proceeds with this plan, the BCCLA will go to court to seek orders protecting constitutionally guaranteed voting rights of all British Columbians from this unconscionable attack on fundamental freedoms."

On April 7th Attorney General Wally Oppal introduced Bill 19, 2008 Electoral Districts Act. The Bill doesn't contain a single word to justify the decision to overrule the recommendations of the Boundaries Commission. Its explanatory note refers to resolution 39, which was unanimously passed on March 13th. Opposition House Leader Mike Farnworth cautioned the government that when debating the subsequent legislation, now introduced as Bill 19, the Opposition would look at whether the government had thought about a possible constitutional challenge and that "that they have legal opinions in place to address those issues." Don't hold your breath waiting for the Campbell government to release its legal opinions. The question is whether the Civil Liberties Association will act on its promise of March 13th.
