Other Factors
The Proposals also laid out the rules for holding the public hearings
and set the dates, times and locations of the meetings. Finally, they
included descriptions and maps showing the proposed boundaries and names
of the province’s electoral districts.
An outline of the Proposals was also published on August 31, 2002, in
an advertising insert distributed with twelve (12) of
the province’s general circulation newspapers. In addition, notices
informed the public of possible changes to the federal electoral boundaries.
These notices, which were distributed through one hundred and
forty (140) weekly papers with a total circulation of three
million, four hundred and thirty-nine thousand, five hundred and thirty-one
(3,439,531), invited the readers to participate in the work of the Commission
and indicated how to obtain the necessary information to that effect.
The Proposals were also available on the Internet, on the Federal Representation
2004 module of the Elections Canada Web site.
