Boundary Commission for Canada
The Boundary Commission for Canada is an independent body responsible for reviewing and adjusting electoral boundaries in Canada. Its main goal is to ensure fair representation in the House of Commons by reflecting population changes and demographic shifts across the country. The Commission conducts periodic reviews and makes recommendations for new electoral districts.
The Commission operates under the Electoral Boundaries Readjustment Act, which outlines the process for redrawing boundaries. It considers factors such as population size, community interests, and geographic features. The final recommendations are submitted to the Parliament of Canada for approval, ensuring that every Canadian's vote carries equal weight.
