41St Parliament, First Session the Standing Committee on Procedure 41st Parliament, First Session The Standing Committee on Procedure and House Affairs has the honour to present its FORTY-THIRD REPORT Your Committee, which is responsible for all matters relating to the election of Members of the House of Commons, pursuant to Standing Order 108(3)(a)(vi), has considered the objections filed in respect of the Report of the Federal Electoral Boundaries Commission for the Province of Alberta, in accordance with section 22 of the Electoral Boundaries Readjustment Act, R.S.C. 1985, c. E-3, and is pleased to report as follows: After each decennial census, the number of Members of the House of Commons and the representation of each province is adjusted in accordance with the rules prescribed by section 51 and 51A of the Constitution Act, 1867. An independent three–member electoral boundaries commission is then established for each province with the mandate to consider and report on the division of the province into electoral districts, the description of the boundaries and the name of each electoral district. The Electoral Boundaries Readjustment Act provides the rules governing the division of a province into electoral districts. The population of each electoral district must be as close as possible to the electoral quota for the province, that is, the population of the province divided by the number of Members of the House of Commons allocated to the province in accordance with the Constitution. Each commission shall also consider the community of interest, community of identity or the historical pattern of an electoral district in the province; as well as the manageable geographic size of electoral districts, in cases of sparsely populated, rural or northern regions. A commission may depart from the provincial electoral quota by plus or minus 25% in order to respect the community of interest, community of identity, or the historical pattern of an electoral district, or to maintain the manageable geographic size of sparsely populated districts. In circumstances that are viewed as extraordinary by a commission, the variance from the electoral quota may be greater than 25%. A commission is required to hold at least one public sitting on proposed electoral districts’ boundaries and names to hear representations by interested persons. After the completion of the public hearings, each commission prepares a report on the boundaries and names of the electoral districts of the province. These reports are tabled in the House of Commons, and referred to the Standing Committee on Procedure and House Affairs. Members of the House of Commons have then 30 calendar days to file objections to the proposals contained in a report. An objection must be in writing and in the form of a motion. It must specify the provisions of the report objected to, and 1 the reasons for those objections. An objection must be signed by not less than 10 Members of the House of Commons. After the expiration of the period for filing objections, the Committee has 30 sittings days, or any greater period as may be approved by the House, to consider the objections. The report of the commission is then referred back to the commission, along with the objections, and the minutes of the proceedings and the evidence heard by the Committee. The commission has then 30 calendar days to consider the matter, dispose of any objection, and finalise its report with or without amendment depending on its disposition of the objections. Once all the commission reports have been finalized, the Chief Electoral Officer prepares a draft representation order setting out the boundaries and names of the new electoral districts. This is sent to the Governor in Council, who shall, within five days, proclaim the new representation order to be in force and effective for any general election that is called seven months after the proclamation is issued. Objections The Report of the Federal Electoral Boundaries Commission for the Province of Alberta was tabled in the House of Commons, and referred to the Committee on December 12, 2012. By the end of the 30-day period, the Clerk of the Committee had received ten objections. General Comments The Committee finds that the MPs who presented objections to the proposed electoral districts of Alberta did so in a unified, coherent, and convincing manner. These MPs coordinated their efforts in order to produce a single map which sets out their proposals (the map is appended to the Report). The proposals of each MP of this province had the support of the communities which they affected, along with the support of MPs from adjacent ridings. The Committee is convinced the proposals submitted to the Commission in this report are an important reflection of the "on-the-ground" knowledge possessed by MPs. The Committee considers these proposals as not driven by any partisan interests but instead by a desire to assist the Commission in ensuring that the various rural and urban communities of Alberta receive their fullest representation in the House of Commons. The Committee considers the work done by the Commission to maintain small deviations between the proposed electoral districts throughout the province to be admirable. The proposals brought forward by MPs in this report by and large maintain low deviations from the province's electoral quota, and certainly below the limits provided for in section 15 of the Electoral Boundaries Readjustment Act. The Committee, nonetheless, respectfully wishes to remind the Commission that equality of population between ridings is but one of a number of important considerations to be taken into account during boundary readjustments, as set out in the Act. 2 The Committee trusts that the Commission will view the proposals in this report with openness and with a view to striking the appropriate balance between representation by population and the maintenance of communities of interest and communities of identity in existing electoral districts. The Committee also notes that the statistics found in this report, in respect of estimated regional populations or deviations from the province’s electoral quota resultant from an MP’s proposal were, in all cases, provided by Elections Canada using current census data. These analyses represent approximations based on Elections Canada’s understanding of the MP’s proposal and need to be validated by Statistics Canada. Name Changes (a) Medicine Hat Mr. Lavar Payne, M.P. for Medicine Hat filed an objection concerning the proposed electoral district of Medicine Hat. He suggested readjusting certain boundaries proposed by the Commission in order to include the following communities and counties into one riding to be renamed Badlands – Medicine Hat – Brooks: the County of Forty Mile, Newell County, Cypress County, the area south of the Red Deer River and north of the two counties of Newell and Cypress, including Empress and Buffalo. In respect of the name change, the Committee agrees with Mr. Payne's suggestion as this proposed name captures the communities and geographic areas encompassed within the electoral district he is proposing. For further discussion with respect to the electoral boundaries aspect of Mr. Payne’s proposal, please see the entry in this report entitled Medicine Hat and Lethbridge under the section for Southern Alberta. (b) Edmonton – Callingwood Ms. Rona Ambrose, C.P., M.P. for Edmonton – Spruce Grove, filed an objection proposing two name changes. She recommended that the proposed electoral district of Edmonton – Callingwood be renamed Edmonton West. The Committee agrees with this suggestion as it gives an unambiguous sense of location to the riding. The Committee also notes that following the public hearings, the Commission acceded to the request to change the riding name of Edmonton McDougall to Edmonton Centre. Ms. Ambrose also suggested that the name for the proposed electoral district of Sturgeon River be changed to Sturgeon – Parkland. While Sturgeon River does indeed flows into the proposed electoral district, Ms. Ambrose asserts that “[n]o one single geographic feature within the electoral district should determine its name. In this case, much of Sturgeon River, including its origin at Isle Lake, falls outside the boundaries of the proposed electoral district. The river flows directly through the City of St. Albert, which is in a different electoral district.” Ms. Ambrose did not suggest eliminating the reference to Sturgeon River, but suggested that adding a reference to Parkland County would provide a better identifier for the electoral district especially for constituents residing in the Southern part of the district. 3 Your Committee agrees with Ms. Ambrose that Sturgeon – Parkland would be a more suitable name for the proposed electoral district. While part of the Parkland County finds itself outside the electoral district, the proposed name would better reflect the electoral district while not focusing on “one geographic feature.” The Committee recommends, therefore, that the proposed electoral district be renamed Sturgeon – Parkland. (c) Wetaskiwin Mr. Blaine Calkins, M.P. for Wetaskiwin, filed a motion with the Committee that contained two separate objections concerning the proposed electoral district of Red Deer – Wolf Creek. One of objections dealt with the proposed name of the electoral district of Red Deer – Wolf Creek. The other objection dealt with an electoral boundary change. For further discussion in respect of the latter, please see the entry in this report entitled Edmonton – Wetaskiwin under the section for Edmonton. Mr. Calkins suggests that the name of the proposed electoral district of Red Deer – Wolf Creek be changed to Red Deer–Lacombe. The reason for this change is to avoid confusion, as Wolf Creek is the name of a local school district, whereas Lacombe is the name of a local city. Mr. Calkins indicated to the Committee a further, historical reason for his suggestion of Lacombe was that Father Albert Lacombe is the namesake of the city in that riding, and he had done extensive charitable work there.

    "The Earlier Y ears of the Edm onton Centre" R oyal Astronomical Soci ety of Canada E. S. Keeping THE EARLIER YEARS OF THE EDMONTON CENTRE Royal Astronomical Society of Canada E. S. Keeping The Edmonton Centre came into existence in 1932, mainly because of the interest and enthusiasm of Dr. J. W. Campbell, Professor of Mathematics at this University. His special field was Mechanics and Astronomy and for many years he gave a course on general descriptive astronomy. At that time the R.A.S.C. was about 30 years old, and was expanding vigorously under the leadership of Dr. Chant, the grand old man of Canadian astronomy. Starting in Toronto, new centres were formed in Ottawa, Peterborough, Hamilton, Winnipeg, Regina, Guelph, Victoria, Montreal, London and Vancouver, all before Edmonton, although some of these subsequently died out. There are now seventeen centres across Canada, from Victoria to St. John's, Newfoundland. A preliminary meeting was held in the Arts Building of the University in January 1932, at which Dr. Campbell explained that we would need 50 members to start a new Centre. In February a petition, with the necessary number of signatures, was forwarded to head office in Toronto, and in March the authorization was granted. That same month officers were elected and a constitu­ tion and by-laws were drawn up. The first president was naturally Dr. Campbell. I was vice-president, and Dr. E. H. Gowan of the Physics Department was Treasurer. Few, if any, of the founding members, except myself, still belong to the centre. The member­ ship fee at that time was $2.00 per year, for which one obtained the Handbook and ten issues of the Journal.
