Toronto losing one riding in proposed change to federal electoral map
There could be one less Member of Parliament from Toronto if a new proposed redistribution of federal electoral boundaries is approved.to the province's federal electoral map in the House of Commons on Friday.
"The commission noted that this overrepresentation in Toronto has emerged due to uneven population growth between Toronto and surrounding areas, which is expected to continue or increase in the future," the report stated. Currently, it has six federal ridings – Scarborough Agincourt, Scarborough Centre, Scarborough Southwest, Scarborough North, Scarborough Guildwood and Scarborough-Rouge Park.
As a result of the criticism, instead of eliminating a Scarborough riding, the commission proposed merging Don Valley East to its three neighbouring ridings – Don Valley North, Don Valley West , and Scarborough Centre . Meanwhile, Guildwood will be joining the current riding of Scarborough-Rouge Park to become Scarborough-Guildwood-Rouge Park.
"This was done in a spirit of reconciliation in recognition of the Haudenosaunee village and burial mounds on the site of High Park," the report stated.The commission said it considered population equality and social and geographic factors -- which include respect for communities of interest or identity, and historical patterns of previous boundaries -- during the redistribution process, as well as submissions during last year's public consultations.
