Moved by Renée Carrier, seconded by David Viau
Carried
WHEREAS the proposed Federal Electoral Boundary Commission has proposed to remove one of the electoral ridings from Northern Ontario; and WHEREAS the proposed riding of Manitoulin-Nickel Belt would remove the Municipalities of St. Charles, Markstay-Warren, and West Nipissing from the current Nickel Belt riding; and WHEREAS the Municipalities of French River, Killarney, St. Charles, Markstay-Warren, and West Nipissing work together under the umbrella of the Sudbury-East Municipal Association (SEMA) for the betterment of each municipality. Currently SEMA is comprised of one geopolitical entity and any changes would fragment, diminish, and reduce access to federal representation for area residents; and WHEREAS the Commission is not taking into consideration the uniqueness of the said municipalities in Sudbury-East including the difficulty in competing for limited amounts of funding. Any changes to the current configuration would exacerbate the situation; and WHEREAS the Commission did not take into considering that the current Sudbury-East boundaries include a substantial portion of francophone citizens. By removing St. Charles, Markstay-Warren and West Nipissing from Nickel Belt would make it extremely difficult to advocate for our francophone population and would be detrimental for those municipalities being forced into mostly anglophone ridings; and WHEREAS the proposal to diminish Northern Ontario’s voice in Parliament will have detrimental effect on participatory democracy
