2001 Census When these rules are applied to the electoral quotient, it follows that
the Commission was bound to ensure that, barring circumstances deemed
exceptional, the population of an electoral district is no less than 72,375
inhabitants and no more than 120,625 inhabitants, if
it considered it necessary or desirable to depart from the rule set out
in paragraph 15(1)(a) for the application of the factors set out
in sub-paragraphs According to the 2001 census, sixteen (16) electoral districts, that is more than twenty percent (20%) of the province’s electoral districts, had become extraordinary electoral districts within the context of subsection 15(2) of the Act. Seven (7) of them were more than 25% larger, and nine (9), more than 25% smaller. In all cases, the discrepancy had widened since the previous readjustment. Moreover, twenty-two (22) other electoral districts showed a variance of plus or minus 10% to 25%. In short, thirty-eight (38) electoral districts out of seventy-five (75), more than half the electoral districts in Quebec, showed a variance of more than 10%.
