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 February 24, 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.
