Petition:
Delimitation of Laval’s electoral divisions

Petition text

CONSIDERING THAT the Commission de la représentation électorale has established new boundaries for the ridings of Chomedey and Fabre in its final report published in the Gazette officielle du Québec on March 2, 2017;

CONSIDERING THAT section 15 of the Election Act ensures that each electoral division must represent a "natural community" on the basis of demographical, geographical and sociological considerations;

CONSIDERING THAT the new boundaries established between Chomedey and Fabre will separate the Hellenic community in two separate ridings, thus disregarding the natural community established in the area;

CONSIDERING THAT the number of electors in Chomedey is 22.2 % greater than the provincial average permitted by the Election Act;

CONSIDERING THAT Laval is one the fastest-growing cities in the province with an important population growth which is expected to continue in the coming years;

CONSIDERING THAT the final report of the Commission de la représentation électorale does not take into consideration this population growth which will affect all six provincial ridings in Laval;
 
We, the undersigned, call upon the Government of Québec to:

  • modify the Election Act in order to abolish the new boundaries established in Laval;
  • send the file to the Commission de la représentation électorale in order to establish new boundaries in Laval which would take into consideration the population of all six of the Laval ridings.

The signing period for this petition is over.
