REDISTRIBUTION

During September next,
New Democratic Party fed-
eral constituency associations
will be asked to re-organize
membership representation
for purposes of a federal elec-
tion in accordance with the
maps already issued by the
Electoral Boundaries Com-
mission for the province.

This decision was made by
the Provincial Council at its
recent meeting on the as-
sumption that few changes
will be made in redistribution
plans following final enact-
ment.

It was also assumed that,
in September, the possibility
of a federal election before
redistribution could be more
accurately determined.

Time limits imposed by the
Commission made it impos-
sible for the federal constitu-
ency organizations to make
a combined representation at

the Vancouver hearings on
behalf of the Party.

If Prime Minister Pearson
decides to defer a federal
election until after redistribu-

tion, it is unlikely that an
election will be held until
after June 1966.

The Commissions are free
to accept or reject changes in
their first-draft provisional
maps. These must be pre-

sented to Parliament by late
January 1966.

If within 30 days, any 10
M.P:s file an objection to any
map, the House must consider
this within 15 days. The ob-
jection, together with a re-
cord of the debate will then
be referred back to the Chief
Electoral Officer and the
Commission concerned, who
may or may not make the
changes desired.

Within another 30 days, the
final reports are to be re-
turned to the Speaker and
will become law within five
days of receipt. This proced-
ure may delay redistribution
until early April 1966.

After redistribution be-
comes law, it is estimated that
about three months will be
required to set up new ma-
chinery with a full comple-
ment of electoral officers.

CANADIAN POVERTY

“Poverty in Canada is the state of families and groups
who, on the one hand, lack basic necessities of life, and
on the other hand, cannot satisfy legitimate aspirations

considered normal by our milieu.”
