There were 80 resolutions submitted for the BC Liberal Party convention in Kelowna, including several to address poverty and improving finances at BC Ferries, but most won't be debated.

With just two hours scheduled for policy resolutions, delegates voted on which should move to the top of the list, and most that were critical of the government's direction or that raised social issues appear to have been dropped.
