Federal Electoral Boundaries Commissions, 2020s

Elections Canada created a website dedicated to Redistribution 2022, which still exists as of 2024; in time, however, it might find itself relegated to the WayBack Machine of the Internet Archive.

Proposals

• 1. Newfoundland and Labrador
• 2. Prince Edward Island
• 3. Nova Scotia
• 4. New Brunswick
• 5. Quebec
• 6. Ontario
• 7. Manitoba
• 8. Saskatchewan
• 9. Alberta
• 10. British Columbia

Written Submissions Received During the Public Hearings

1. Newfoundland and Labrador
2. Prince Edward Island
3. Nova Scotia
4. New Brunswick
5. Quebec
6. Ontario
7. Manitoba
8. Saskatchewan
9. Alberta
10. British Columbia

Only the FEBCs for New Brunswick, Quebec, Ontario, and Manitoba practised openness and transparency and made their written submissions available during Redistribution 2022 itself; the hyperlinks for those four therefore go to the subpages on Redistribution2022.ca.

At long last on 8 May 2025, Elections Canada finally sent me the Access to Information Request A-2024-00014 containing the written submissions sent to the six Federal Electoral Boundaries Commissions which opted not to post them online during Redistribution 2022. The giant document consists of 3,429 pages and breaks down as follows:

• 1 to 771: Alberta
• 772 to 2387: British Columbia
• 2388 to 2417: Newfoundland and Labrador
• 2418 to 3079: Nova Scotia
• 3080 to 3084: Prince Edward Island
• 3085 to 3429: Saskatchewan

Unfortunately, Elections Canada chose to redact not only the addresses and phone numbers and emails of those who sent in these written submissions, but even their names and affiliations as well – which makes this information much less useful for researchers than it otherwise would have been. Elections Canada redacted information that it left intact for the four commissions which posted their submissions online during Redistribution 2022 and in so doing created two different standards of evidence.

I have separated the giant file into six smaller files, one for each commission.
