The Electoral Boundaries Readjustment Actsays that every10 years an Electoral Boundaries Commission must be struck
to adjust federal riding boundaries to reflect the changes in
population in ridings across the country
In Canada, the Commission is proposing 30 new ridings(338 in total)
In Ontario, the Commission is proposing 15 new ridings
The goal is to make the population of each riding equal,
however ridings can have populations +/- 25% (max:132,766;
min: 79,660)

In addition to population equality, commissions mustconsiderother social and geographic factors.
The Commission may choose to create electoral districts
whose populations vary from the average, if they consider it
necessary or desirable to do so in order to:o respect communities of interest or identity (forexample, communities based around language orshared culture and history),
o respect historical patterns of previous electoralboundaries; oro maintain a manageable geographic size for districtsin sparsely populated, rural or northern regions of theprovince.

The Commission is proposing to divide Malton at Goreway
Drive and Morningstar Drive
Those to the north and east of these streets will become partof the new riding ofBrampton-Gore
Those to the south and west will become part of the riding of
Mississauga-North
This will mean roughly 11,000 residents of Malton WILL NOTbelong to a Mississauga riding
