Bye bye representation
For those unfamiliar with the term, it means soon passing out of sight, memory, or existence; quickly fading or disappearing.
The commission recommends the North keeps our current six ridings, but also wants to add six in the much more populated southern part of the province, specifically in Burnaby, Langley, Surrey, Vancouver, Langford and central Okanagan. That would increase the size of the provincial legislature to 93 seats.
To do this, boundaries commissions try to keep each riding pretty close to a mean value or “electoral quotient.” For the proposed 93 ridings that quotient is 53,773 people, much greater than any of our northern ridings. That is why legislation allows for variances from the mean of 25 per cent. It also allows for even greater variances for extreme circumstances.
