How we counted
An issue is listed when no leader and not the moderator mentioned it, in a search of the full transcript. Commitment counts are from BC Ballot’s platform pages on Oct 14, built from each party’s platform where one is published and its website and announcements where not. The BC NDP’s costed platform, released Oct 14, is not yet included.
