Canada’s New Electoral Boundaries and Representation Order Effective Post-April 2024

The document details the official declaration of the Representation Orders for Canada, which will come into effect after the dissolution of Parliament post-April 22, 2024. It outlines the redefined electoral boundaries and the number of members to be elected for the House of Commons from each province. Mary May Simon, the Governor General of Canada, has authorized this proclamation under the advice of the Privy Council for Canada.

For most provinces, the representation order specifies the number of members to be elected and provides detailed descriptions of the electoral district boundaries, including geographic coordinates and landmarks. Newfoundland and Labrador, for example, will elect seven members, while Ontario will elect 122 members. The document also includes specific descriptions for the electoral districts within Quebec, which will elect 78 members.

The proclamation also includes representation orders for the territories, with one member each to be elected from Yukon, Northwest Territories, and Nunavut. The document concludes with the signatures of the Deputy Attorney General of Canada and the Deputy Registrar General of Canada, affirming the legal registration of the proclamation. [Source]
