		Miramichi is selected because it is centrally located in the province, and also because there is already a very high percentage of First Nations communities in the Miramichi electoral district (Pabineau, Tabusintac, Burnt Church, Big Hole Tract, Red Bank, Eel Ground).

		The electoral district of the City and County of Saint John was established in 1867, as was the electoral district of the City of Saint John.

		Under Act, paragraphs 15(1)(a) and (b), commissions are required to consider a reasonable departure from the electoral quota to recognize the community of interest and identity in or the historical pattern of an electoral district as well as to maintain a manageable geographic size for districts in sparsely populated, rural or northern regions.
		So we were a little embarrassed to see two neighbouring electoral districts with a 35,000 difference, with one that has a 10,000 surplus that could really be easily transferred into the one that has only 57,000, while still maintaining the communities of interest in terms of language and in terms of occupation.

		In this case, a Federal Electoral Boundaries Commission had been established for the province of New Brunswick to propose a redistribution plan for electoral districts in that province.
		On this point, the Court first noted that under paragraphs 15(1)(a) and (b) of the Electoral Boundaries Readjustment Act, commissions must consider a reasonable departure from the electoral quota to respect a community of interests, the identity of an electoral district in a province, its historical pattern or.
		Finally, in analysing the facts of the case, the Court concluded that the Commission’s decision on the transfer was wrong because it was made without regard for the evidence before it (that is, the evidence presented by the various interveners from the Acadie-Bathurst electoral district at the public hearings).

	Report to the Standing Committee
		And, the Canadian electoral system is recognized as being so archaic and so undemocratic that it is universally rejected by modern and emerging democracies when sincere electoral reform is undertaken.
		The way that the electoral system distorts the number of votes earned by parties relative to the seats gained in legislatures is only the most glaring distortion because it is easy to compare votes cast with seats won.
		The fact that Canada's electoral system so effectively disenfranchises millions of Canadians is the reason for the rise of -- and the argument for the compelling need in our present system for -- third parties to vigorously participate in elections.

		The family of Jean Savoie and his wife Anne Landry established themselves and became the first pioneer family of Neguac after being forced to leave Miramichi during the winter of 1756-57.

		In fact, I'm not sure if the law actually outlines real criteria by which electoral districts will be created, which is an oversight which should be corrected, but, if criteria do exist, they should reflect the same considerations as those governing the creation of electoral divisions.
