Federal Electoral Districts Redistribution 2022 Commission Proposal

The Federal Electoral Districts Redistribution 2022 Commission has recommended replacing Renfrew-Nipissing-Pembroke with a new riding known as Algonquin-Renfrew-Pembroke. This recommendation includes removing the entirety of the Township of Greater Madawaska from the Renfrew-Nipissing-Pembroke electoral district and proposes to move the municipality to a new electoral district of Lanark-Frontenac, which is known today as Lanark-Frontenac-Kingston.
The electors of the Township of Greater Madawaska primarily conduct their business, enjoy social circles, and family gatherings within the Renfrew-Nipissing-Pembroke electoral district. The proposed boundary would negatively impact this current arrangement and would also require additional travel time to meet with the MP and/or MPP.
The boundary proposal, if approved, would lead to political division within the County of Renfrew when a motion is passed by County Council requesting all members reach out to their MP and/or MPP. Furthermore, the Township of Greater Madawaska has developed strong working relationships with the MP and MPP of Renfrew-Nipissing-Pembroke along with various agencies and municipalities, which itself is challenging in rural Eastern Ontario.
I oppose the proposed new riding boundaries, which proposes to remove the Township of Greater Madawaska from the riding currently known as Renfrew-Nipissing-Pembroke.
