Here are all the reasons for why we should keep our ridings.

1. Scarborough is a distinctive community with integrated public services and neighbourhoods. The Commission shouldn't break it up.
2. Statistics Canada consistently undercounts Scarborough's population. Researchers estimate that this is an undercount of at least 50,000 residents. Census forms are less likely to be completed by: residents who are newcomers with English language limitations, those living in precarious housing, refugee claimants, international students and temporary foreign workers, especially during a pandemic.
3. We want to promote equity for our diverse communities.
4. Increased housing will increase Scarborough's population.
5. Local businesses have connections to our community.
6. The Commission's recommendations will reduce the representation of Scarborough at all three levels of government.

Sincerely,

Vishnave
