The expansion of the Outremont Riding to include parts of the Golden Square Mile and the McGill Campus departs from the principle of representing communities of interest -- these parts of the proposed riding would be carved out of their own communities, and geographically separated from the population centres of the Outremont riding by virtue of Mont Royal park. Additionally, I feel it would better reflect the communities represented within the riding for the name to include Mile-End, which is largely included in the existing and proposed riding boundaries, rather than referring exclusively to Outremont. To the extent it is necessary to add area to the Outremont riding to bring it within the permitted population ranges, it would be more appropriate to expand further into Côte Des Neiges, which would better reflect a community of interest in a contiguous area, rather than creating a sort of enclave within Ville-Marie.

Name to modify: Outremont

New name: Outremont – Mile-End
