It was tabled in the House of Commons and referred to the Standing Committee on Procedure and House Affairs (the Committee) on November 26, 2012. Three objections to the report were filed with the Committee. In accordance with subsection 22(3) of the Electoral Boundaries Readjustment Act, the report of the Committee, the objections, the minutes of proceedings and evidence of the Committee, and the report of the Commission were referred back to the Commission for consideration of the matter of the objections. The initial version of the report is included in this final report in its entirety. The new section titled Addendum (Disposition of Objections) provides the Commission’s consideration and disposition of objections. The results are to change the electoral district name of Bay d’Espoir— Central—Notre Dame to Coast of Bays—Central—Notre Dame and to adjust part of the boundary between the districts of St. John’s East and St. John’s South—Mount Pearl. The population implications are modest. These adjustments are reflected in the accompanying Amendments to Schedule B and Amended Maps. In all other respects, the Commission’s report of November 15, 2012 is unaltered. Report of the Federal Electoral Boundaries Commission for the Province of Newfoundland and Labrador 3 Report ReportReport (as of November 15, 2012) 4 Your Representation in the House of Commons Introduction and Overview The Federal Electoral Boundaries Commission for the Province of Newfoundland and Labrador (the Commission) was established on February 21, 2012, under the Electoral Boundaries Readjustment Act, R.S.C. 1985, c. E-3 (the Act). It is the duty of the Commission to consider and report on the readjustment of the boundaries of the electoral districts of the Province of Newfoundland and Labrador (the Province) as required upon completion of the 2011 decennial census. The Commission is composed of the Honourable Mr. Justice Keith Mercer, Chairperson, Herbert Clarke, Deputy Chairperson, and Julie Eveleigh, Member. The 2011 decennial census established the population of the Province at 514,536. Pursuant to subsection 14(1) of the Act the Chief Electoral Officer determined that population estimates in the decennial census year and section 51 of the Constitution Act, 1867 dictate that the representation of the Province in the House of Commons remain at seven (7) members, therefore requiring seven electoral districts. Section 15 of the Act requires the Commission to “proceed on the basis that the population of each electoral district ... shall, as close as reasonably possible, correspond to the electoral quota for the province”. That electoral quota is determined by dividing the population of the Province by the number of electoral districts. The Act allows the Commission to deviate, up or down, from the electoral quota by as much as twenty-five (25) percent where such deviations are necessary or desirable having regard to various named factors.

    TOPIC 4.5 Why would the population of the province fluctuate? What is the trend of population change in your community? What might be the impact of this trend? Introduction According to the 1901 Census, Newfoundland had lived in communities along the coast and made their a population of 220 984, including 3947 people living through the fishery – 70.6 per cent of the working recorded in Labrador. The population continued population. However, the fishing grounds of the east to increase through the first half of the twentieth coast had become overcrowded and families found it century, despite significant emigration to Canada and increasingly difficult to make a living in this industry. the United States. The geographical distribution of Consequently, people in some of the long-established people also began to change in response to push and fishing communities left their homes in search of less pull factors in the economy. Thousands of people populated bays where there would be less competition chose to leave their homes and relocate to regions that for fish.
