CONTRIBUTEDSYDNEY, N.S. — The age-old political issue of equal and effective representation is once again a hot topic of discussion around the Cape Breton Regional Municipality council table.
“I am here to collect the information and to consult the public. We’ve got the results we obtained from the public. The bottom line with respect to what I am recommending we take to the next phase is the results of the survey." Prior to the 1995 amalgamation that led to the establishment of the CBRM, no fewer than 77 elected representatives sat on councils in the various local governments in and including the former County of Cape Breton. The CBRM started with 21 councillors but that number was reduced to 16 by 1999. Council size was further reduced to 12 after a 2011 CBRM Governance and Boundary review.
“As a representative of a rural area, I will not support a further downsizing of less representation of rural areas,” said Parsons, whose sprawling district is one of the largest in the CBRM. “If we are going to try to get as much representation in as possible, I think we should be looking at going to each district and having that councillor help with the public meeting. Why are we not doing that?”
