There could be one less Member of Parliament from Toronto if a new proposed redistribution of federal electoral boundaries is approved.
to the province's federal electoral map in the House of Commons on Friday.
"The commission noted that this overrepresentation in Toronto has emerged due to uneven population growth between Toronto and surrounding areas, which is expected to continue or increase in the future," the report stated. Currently, it has six federal ridings – Scarborough Agincourt, Scarborough Centre, Scarborough Southwest, Scarborough North, Scarborough Guildwood and Scarborough-Rouge Park.
The commission said their initial plan was seen as "another act against a part of Toronto which feels it has suffered a long series of setbacks and disappointments from governments of all levels." The current riding of Scarborough-Guildwood will also see a significant change. The commission proposed shifting its boundaries towards the west "to reflect population equality and to draw boundaries on clear, straight, easily-explained features." As a result, the new boundary will not include the community of Guildwood Village, so the riding is being renamed Scarborough-Woburn.
Other proposed changes include a new name for the riding of Parkdale-High Park. It will be changed to Taiaiako'n-Parkdale-High Park.
