Township of Machar
Resolution Number: 132
Moved by: Ron McLaren Seconded by: Neil Scarlett
September 12, 2022
That we support the Township of Coleman and FONOM (Federation of Northern Ontario Municipalities) to petition the Federal Electoral Boundaries Commission to withdraw the proposal to eliminate a Federal Riding in Northern Ontario, and not to reduce the number of MPs for Northern Ontario, and
Further that the Federal Government introduce legislation that would provide for a minimum number of guaranteed Ridings for Northern Ontario to ensure the voices of Northern and Rural communities is not stifled.
