\u0022Do the residents of the City of Kingston have a common interest in being collectively under\u002Drepresented for the next 10 years?\u0022 asks one MP
Meanwhile, Kingston and the Islands Liberal MP Mark Gerretsen supports the change, believing it recognizes the community of interest. “We are one step closer to having all residents of Kingston in the electoral district of Kingston and the Islands for the next federal election.”
That task is put to the independent review commissions comprising a judge appointed by each province’s chief justice and two other members appointed by the Speaker of the House. The commission said the change was necessary because only a portion of Nipissing fell within the district, while Algonquin-Renfrew-Pembroke recognized “the importance of the Algonquin people’s history and presence in this region.”
By shifting boundaries, the Ontario commission will reposition the Conservative leader’s riding to 124,416 residents. Kanata-Carleton Liberal MP Jenna Sudds said she believed boundary changes were necessary after hearing from rural and suburban constituents and considering population growth in communities such as Nepean and Bells Corners.
