Threshold of referendum

I noticed the article doesn't mention what the threshold for success of the referendum is. Compared to 2005, this time, according to the BC Elections handbook (pdf) it states that a simple majority is required. The 2005 referendum referendum had it under questions, so if no one objects, I'll add it there.
