If I may, I'm not so sure that the problem is with the criteria as with the fact that they were ignored in this case. The criteria under “community of interest” are.... Some are set out in legislation and some through jurisprudence, but an electoral boundaries commission is supposed to look at the history. It is supposed to look at geography. IT is supposed to look at demographics. It is supposed to look at communities of interest. I don't think there's a problem with those. It's a problem with the fact that it misapplied or ignored those when it came to drafting the boundaries for Vancouver.
