Both Marcus Powlowski and Eric Melillo are pleased their ridings aren’t being merged, but are disappointed the North could lose one seat in Parliament.
Two of Northwestern Ontario's MPs were very pleased, yet also disappointed, with the riding boundaries for Northern Ontario released in a report to the House of Commons by the Federal Electoral Boundaries Commission on Friday.
“For us in Northwestern Ontario, it’s fantastic — I think we got everything we wanted. It’s good for the people of Northwestern Ontario. Unfortunately, I can’t say the same for the people of Northern Ontario as a whole, because Northern Ontario has lost one seat, so I’m unhappy with that fact,” he said.
He said it will also result in some loss of funding for Northeastern Ontario, with some programs like Canada Summer Jobs providing funding on a per-riding basis. The next step in the process for the riding boundaries will include a review by MPs in committees, Melillo said.
