The House resumed consideration of the motion of Mr. Gray (Leader of
the Government in the House of Commons and Solicitor General of
Canada), seconded by Mr. Goodale (Minister of Agriculture and
Agri-Food), -- That a Message be
sent to the Senate to acquaint Their Honours that this House agrees to
amendment number 4(a) made by the Senate to Bill C-69, An Act to
provide for the establishment of electoral boundary commissions and
the readjustment of electoral
boundaries, and this House disagrees with amendments numbers 1, 2, 3,
4(b), 4(c), 5, 6 and 7 for the following reasons:
The bill was, in accordance with the new procedures of this House,
prepared by a Committee of the House. While amendment number 4(a)
corrects an omission, the other amendments address points, each of
which were supported by
Members representing at least two of the three parties officially
recognized in the House. Taken together, the bill represents a balance
aimed at improving the responsiveness of the system of readjusting
electoral boundaries both to
rapid shifts of population and to the operative realities of effective
representation of the people, a balance that, in the opinion of this
House, requires:
(a) in view of the varied Canadian geography and demography, the
retention of a variation of up to 25% from the electoral quota of each
province (addressed by amendments numbers 1 and 6(a));
(b) the avoidance of unnecessary electoral boundary adjustments in
provinces where shifts of population do not require them (addressed in
amendments numbers 2, 3, 5, 6(b)(i) and 7);
(c) the clear acceptance of the non-partisan status of members of
commissions through the provision of parliamentary oversight of
appointments (addressed by amendments numbers 4(b) and 4(c));
(d) the retention of the definition of ``community of interest"
developed on a non-partisan basis by currently serving elected
representatives, through a consensus of all parties, in the House of
Commons Standing Committee rather than the substitution of another
definition (addressed by amendment number 6(b)(ii));
And of the amendment of Mr. Hermanson (Kindersley -- Lloydminster),
seconded by Mr. Harper (Calgary West), -- That the motion be amended by
deleting all the words after the word ``That" and substituting the
following:
``a Message be sent to the Senate to acquaint Their Honours that this
House agrees to amendments numbers 1, 4(a), 6(a) and 6(b)(i), made by
the Senate to Bill C-69, An Act to provide for the establishment of
electoral boundary commissions and the readjustment of electoral
boundaries, and this House disagrees with amendments numbers 2, 3,
4(b), 4(c), 5, 6(b)(ii), 6(c) and 7."
The debate continued.
At 11:16 p.m., pursuant to the Order made earlier today under the
provisions of Standing Order 57, the Speaker interrupted the
proceedings.
The question was put on the amendment and it was negatived on the
following division:
