Message: refusal to accept Majority Voting Policy proposal?

I wonder if the below section of the BCBCA applies to our situation? We submitted a proposal in which we never heard back from around Feb 5TH. The other sections have to be read to interpret this fully, and it may be possible she was allowed to ignore our proposal, but if she was allowed to ignore, then again, something very seriously wrong with laws.

Refusal to process proposal

191 (1) A company that does not intend to process a proposal in accordance with section 189 (1) to (4) on the basis that subsection (5) of that section applies to the proposal or on the basis that the proposal is one referred to in subsection (4) (b) of that section must, within 21 days after the proposal is received by its registered office, send to the submitter

(a) written notice of the company's decision in relation to the proposal, and

(b) a written explanation as to the company's reasons for its decision, including a specific reference to the provision of section 189 that the company is relying on in refusing to process the proposal and the reasons why the company believes that that provision applies.

(2) The submitter to whom a notice is sent under subsection (1) (a) of this section may apply to the court for a review of the company's decision.

(3) On an application under subsection (2), the court may restrain the holding of the annual general meeting in relation to which the proposal is made and may, if it determines that the company did not have proper grounds to refuse to process the proposal in accordance with section 189 (1) to (4), make any order it considers appropriate, including one or more of the following:

(a) an order that the company comply with section 189 (1) to (4) in the manner and within the time ordered by the court;

(b) if the information referred to in section 189 (1) cannot be provided to the shareholders within a reasonable period of time before the annual general meeting, an order that the company

(i) hold, at its sole expense, a general meeting for the purpose of considering the proposal, and

(ii) comply with section 189 (1) to (4) in relation to that meeting on the terms and conditions imposed by the court;

(c) an order that the company reimburse the submitter for all reasonable legal expenses, including all reasonable disbursements, incurred in the application.

(4) The company or any person claiming to be aggrieved by a proposal may apply to the court for an order permitting or requiring the company to refrain from processing the proposal in accordance with section 189 (1) to (4) and the court, if it is satisfied that section 189 (4) (b) or (5) applies, may make such order as it considers appropriate.
