Commission's Report
Upon completion of the public hearings, the Commission
prepared its report. The report was then transmitted to the Speaker
of the House of Commons by the Chief Electoral Officer. The report
was tabled in the House of Commons on January 27, 2003 by the
Speaker and referred to the Standing Committee on Procedure and
House Affairs to give members of the House of Commons another opportunity
to comment on changes to the federal electoral boundaries. Section
22 of the Electoral Boundaries Readjustment Act provides
for the filing of objections to the report with the clerk of the
committee within a period of 30 days from the day a copy of the
Commission's report is referred to the committee. An objection must
be in the form of a motion signed by not less than 10 members of
the House of Commons.
