    Then don't submit. Don't do anything.

    I'm trying demonstrate how the process works. All of those submissions are read. Every single one of them. It doesn't matter if there are 20 or 2000. They are all read. From those submissions, a general consensus is established which gets deliberated on by the responsible committee. The committee is comprised of various politicians, subject matter experts, special interest groups, etc. They deliberate on the submissions, come to a consensus, and then it goes through the Parliamentary process. During this process, there are time where you can raise additional concerns.

    I think we can all agree that policy decisions are not made in a vacuum. Everything exists in a political context and the tragic Chch shooting generated a lot of context. Only one MP voted against it. Whether you like it or not, a democratic system is by it's very nature majoritarian. Make of that what you will and use it to your advantage.

    I don't know about you, but would rather be a part of the process and have my voice heard than do nothing.
