Your proposal to cut a riding from Northern Ontario (800,000 square kilometres) and give it to Brampton (256 square kilometres) which already has five MPs is wrong in my opinion.

Northern Ontario already has ridings with populations larger than many rural and northern regions across Canada. Those ridings are bigger than many European countries.

Democracy in Canada is not based strictly on population but on the right of regions to be represented. Cutting seats from Northern Ontario is not a just solution to addressing rising population in urban southern Ontario in my opinion.

Please do not do this

Sincerely,

A concerned Canadian
