It is the first of its kind and, perhaps most importantly, it provides a baseline of data against which we can com- pare future electoral outcomes. When researchers, policymakers, and civil society organizations think about integration and inclusion, much of their attention tends to focus on economic indicators, with far less attention be- ing given to other indicators, including those related to political participa- tion, electoral involvement, and civic engagement. This is unfortunate, and perhaps misguided, given that it is elected bodies and other decision-making structures that largely regulate labour market policies and thus have the potential to shape economic outcomes. We hope that this volume goes some distance toward readjusting this balance. A volume of this nature has a significant gestation period and complex parenthood. Its origins lie in the Third International Metropolis Conference, which was held in Israel in 1998. At that time, researchers from eleven cities from around the world came together to consider our existing knowledge of newcomers’ participation in formal electoral processes in Australia, Can- ada, Israel, Japan, the Netherlands, Switzerland, the United Kingdom, and the United States. This foundation led to nearly a decade of work within Canada and internationally under the aegis of the Metropolis Project, with this publication standing as one of the important results. Along the way, versions of some chapters have been presented at meetings of the Canadian Political Science Association in London, Ontario, the Seventh National Metropolis Conference in Montreal, and the Biennial Meeting of the Can- adian Ethnic Studies Association in Ottawa. We are grateful to participants for their thoughtful insights and constructive feedback. Equally, we extend our gratitude to our chapter authors for their hard work and remarkable patience and for the collaborative spirit that is needed to create a truly comparative edited volume. x Acknowledgments We also thank the elected officials who participated in the research for this project; the graduate students who collected data in earlier iterations; Shuguang Wang and Andrea Kmetty of Ryerson University who developed the data tables and maps for each chapter; Eric Leinberger of the University of British Columbia who prepared the maps for production; the reviewers selected by UBC Press who provided valuable and constructive comments; Emily Andrew and Holly Keller at UBC Press for their support in the develop- ment of the manuscript and their capable assistance through every facet of the publishing process; and Leslie Kenny and her colleagues at the University of Victoria’s Centre for Studies in Religion and Society as well as Danielle Turpin of Llama Communications who ably formatted the manuscript. Finally, we recognize a number of collaborators who began this journey with us but were not able to stay with us to the end: Anver Saloojee who returned to South Africa to take an active role in the policy life of that country, Jim Curtis who sadly and unexpectedly passed away, and Tina Chui and Steven Bittle who, through the exigencies of life, were unable to continue with the project. This volume is based on a survey of elected officials at three levels of gov- ernment from across the country, which was made possible through funding from the Metropolis Project, Citizenship and Immigration Canada, and the Department of Canadian Heritage. This funding supported data collection and the initial meeting of contributors that laid the groundwork necessary to complete a comparative volume of this scope.

With the January 23 federal election as a backdrop, the Board called on all federal parties to clarify where they stand on key municipal issues. Of specific concern during the course of the campaign, the Board identified the need to secure a long-term legislated commitment to eliminating the infrastructure deficit, as well as the need to secure the quick transfer of money for affordable housing and transit contained in Bill C-48, and to develop a strong partnership between the Government of Canada and the municipal sector. As part of this call, the Board urged the broadcasters' consortium that will organize the four scheduled leader's debates to guarantee municipal issues would be discussed (see attached news release). Televised debate In keeping with its proactive strategy, the Board kicked off the proceedings with a nationally broadcast town-hall meeting with representatives of the Liberal, Conservative and New Democratic parties to discuss and debate where the three parties stand on municipal issues. Board members heard and questioned John Godfrey, Minister of State for Infrastructure and Communities, and opposition critics Rahim Jaffer of the Conservative Party of Canada and David Christopherson of the New Democratic Party.
