Revision as of 09:47, 22 December 2022
The federal electoral redistribution of 2022 is a redistribution of electoral districts ("ridings") in Canada following the results of the 2021 Canadian census. The Constitution of Canada requires that federal electoral districts which compose the House of Commons undergo a redistribution of boundaries following each decennial Canadian census.[1] The redistribution process began in October 2021; it is expected to be completed in September 2023. It is based on data obtained during the 2021 Canadian census.[2]
The changes to federal electoral district boundaries may take effect at the earliest in 2024.[3] If the next federal election occurs before the new electoral boundaries have been established, it will occur with the current electoral district boundaries, which have been in effect since the 2015 federal election was called on August 4, 2015.[4][5]
The redistribution formula for federal electoral districts which compose the House of Commons is set out in Section 51 of the Constitution Act, 1867.[6] The formula in Section 51 was amended to its current form in 2022 by the Preserving Provincial Representation in the House of Commons Act. Section 52 permits additional seats to be added to the House of Commons provided proportionate representation between the provinces is maintained.[6]
Under the Electoral Boundaries Readjustment Act, to redistribute the electoral boundaries within each province, ten independent electoral boundary commissions will be established, one for each province. The commissions are composed of three members, one appointed by the chief justice of each province, and two members appointed by the Speaker of the House of Commons.[7][8] Nunavut, the Northwest Territories and the Yukon do not require commissions as each territory is allotted only a single member of the House of Commons, resulting in the entirety of the each territory being a single electoral district.[1][9]
Initial allocation of seats
The initial allocation of seats to the provinces and territories was based on rules in the Constitution of Canada established in 2012 by the Fair Representation Act as well as estimates of the Canadian population on July 1, 2021 made by Statistics Canada.[2] The Chief Electoral Officer announced the allocation of seats on 15 October 2021.[3]
Province or territory | 2012 redistribution | Initial 2022 seat allocation[3] | Change |
---|---|---|---|
Ontario | 121 | 122 | 1 |
Quebec | 78 | 77 | 1 |
British Columbia | 42 | 43 | 1 |
Alberta | 34 | 37 | 3 |
Manitoba | 14 | 14 | |
Saskatchewan | 14 | 14 | |
Nova Scotia | 11 | 11 | |
New Brunswick | 10 | 10 | |
Newfoundland and Labrador | 7 | 7 | |
Prince Edward Island | 4 | 4 | |
Northwest Territories | 1 | 1 | |
Nunavut | 1 | 1 | |
Yukon | 1 | 1 | |
Canada | 338 | 342 | 4 |
Passage of the Preserving Provincial Representation in the House of Commons Act
Notwithstanding the Chief Electoral Officer's announcement, Parliament retained certain powers to amend the Constitution Act, 1867 and thus the redistricting process.[10] Such a change occurred during the 2012 redistribution.[9] Amendments affecting proportionate representation between the provinces, however, required support of seven provinces representing at least 50% of the population of Canada.[10]
Several days after the Chief Electoral Officer's announcement of the allocation, Quebec provincial Minister of Justice Sonia LeBel said that Quebec's "special status" as Canada's "only francophone province" meant that the province must not lose any seats.[11][12] LeBel said the province represents one of the "founding peoples of Canada" saying that represents much more than "a simple calculation of population".[12] In November 2021, both the Premier of Quebec François Legault and the opposition Bloc Québécois also called for Quebec to maintain its current number of seats of 78.[13][14]
The same month, The Toronto Star editorial board called for further seats to be added in Ontario, British Columbia and Alberta, to provide fair representation for voters in those provinces.[15] It also said calls to institute a minimum threshold of seats for Quebec should be rejected.[15] The Globe and Mail's editorial board also called on Parliament to add additional seats to ensure the principle of "one person, one vote" would be realized.[16]
On February 8, 2022, BQ Shadow Minister Martin Champoux introduced a private member's bill entitled An Act to amend the Constitution Act, 1867 (representation in the House of Commons).[17] The bill proposed that Quebec would be guaranteed never to be allotted less than 25% of the seats in the House. This had previously been a provision in the failed 1992 Charlottetown Accord. The bill was defeated at second reading on June 8, 2022 by a vote of 51-264, with the BQ and NDP voting for the bill, and the Liberals and Conservatives voting against the bill.[18]
On March 2, 2022, the House of Commons called for the rules for apportioning seats to be amended in a non-binding motion.[19][20][21] The motion was introduced by the Bloc to avoid Quebec losing a seat in the House of Commons.[22] Following the vote, a government announced it would reject any scenario where Quebec loses a seat and would be working on a way to the current number of Quebec seats will be maintained.[20] Following the announcement, Conservative MP Michelle Rempel Garner said that the decision could contribute to western alienation and raised new questions about Canada’s electoral system.[23] She said Conservatives should consider advocating for the adoption of proportional representation.[22][23]
On March 24, 2022, the government tabled legislation to prevent Quebec (or any other province) from losing any seats relative to the number of seats it was apportioned in 2012 Canadian federal electoral redistribution.[24][25] Bill C-14 amended Rule 2 of subsection 51(1) of the Constitution Act, 1867, commonly known as the "Grandfather Clause".[26][27] The Bill passed the House of Commons on June 15, 2022,[28] passed the Senate on June 21, 2022,[29] and received royal assent on June 23, 2022.[30]
The Chief Electoral Officer announced the new allocation of seats under the Preserving Provincial Representation in the House of Commons Act on 8 July 2022.[31]
Province or territory | 2012 redistribution | 2022 seat allocation | Average population per electoral district |
