Sudbury MP Viviane Lapointe adds her voice to the calls for the number of federal ridings in Northern Ontario to be maintained
There has been a lot said recently about the redistribution of federal boundaries. It’s important for the people of Sudbury to know what the changes could mean for them.
The commission for Ontario has proposed a redistribution plan, which would see northern Ontario lose one electoral riding. This would leave northern Ontario with nine seats, instead of the current 10 seats, in the House of Commons. This has traditionally been a challenge for people living in northern Ontario where there is often a lack of public transportation, reliable cellular and Internet services, and easy access to government agencies.
An important goal of the commission is to not divide communities of interests. And one can readily understand why. Historical and cultural characteristics of a community are important to the people who live there. It is also important to take into consideration key elements of how people live, work, play, go to school, and receive crucial services such as emergency and health care services.
