RE: Ontario – Federal Electoral Districts Redistribution
Dear Ms. Puddy:
I am writing today regarding the electroctal district redistribution process that is currently underway that would reduce electroral districts in Northern Ontario from 10 to nine ridings, with impacts anticipated across the entire region.
The North abounds in resources and is a major economic driver, though its voice is limited due to our vast geographic area, declining population, and distance from major decision-making centres. As such, northern communities are very reliant upon their elected officials and the important voices they provide in parliament. The proposed boundary changes will make an already challenging job even more difficult. We do recognize the importance of a thorough review process, however, I ask that you consider the longer term impact of any changes to boundary lines on the individuals, communities and economies of the North.
I wish you the best for your review process and appreciate the opportunity to provide you with feedback. Should you wish to connect with me at any time, feel free to do so at xxxxxxx.xxxx@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx.ca.
Sincerely,
William Best
