I'm curious about one thing. Perhaps James could look into this or enlighten us, if at all possible.
Regarding the readjustment of electoral boundaries, the next decennial census is scheduled for 2011. However, the smaller, less elaborate census can result in certain electoral boundary changes.
I was elected in 1993. I recall that a small census was held in 1996. Decennial censuses were held in 1991 and 2001. Some seats were redistributed in the case of the 1997 election. As my riding had become too populous, I lost a small community of 3,500 or 4,000 individuals. I did not gain any new constituents. I simply lost some.
Obviously, the reality is that with a minority government, there is no way of knowing when the next general election will be held. Nevertheless, this interim census was supposed to have been done in 2006. In the event of an election call, would Elections Canada redistribute some seats on the basis of 2006 census data?
