MPs will have two opportunities to make their views known around the proposed new delimitations, first at the public hearings that must be held by commissions across the country in each of the provinces, and secondly when the initial report of the commissions is provided to the House. The Speaker will refer them, in my understanding, to this committee. The committee will receive the objections of colleagues regarding any issue arising from the proposed new boundaries, and the committee will report their views on these objections. The commissions, in due course, will be required to consider those views. Of course, they are not bound, but they will have to consider the objections that will be relayed by this committee.
On November 15th, 2011. See this statement in context.
