Nickel Belt MP Marc Serré says public outcry has forced an extension of the comment period on proposed riding boundary changes, so the time is now to make your opinion heard
Thanks to an influx of feedback, the Federal Electoral Boundaries Commission has announced they have extended the written submission period for federal boundary changes until Oct. 29. This means that all residents of Northern Ontario now have additional time to comment on the removal of a riding in the region.
The new proposed riding will essentially eliminate Nickel Belt as we know it and will be renamed Nickel Belt-Manitoulin. This new riding would take in part of Greater Sudbury, Elliot Lake, and Manitoulin Island. These changes impact every riding from east to west. Ridings will be much larger, and the opportunity to access your MP for information related to federal agencies will be drastically reduced.
Just last month, the Honorable Sean Fraser announced that the Government of Canada would be extending the Rural and Northern Immigration Pilot Program period with improvements to support Community partners, employers and candidates. The Provincial Boundary Commission of Ontario acknowledged in 2017 that Northern Ontario was under-represented. Rather than remove seats, the Commission recommended adding two more seats to raise the total number to 13 representatives.
