Foreword – Quebec

This report is the last of the documents prepared by the Commission pursuant to the Electoral Boundaries Readjustment Act, R.S.C., 1985, c. E-3 (the "Act"), since its creation on November 1, 2021. It follows the Commission's proposal published on July 29, 2022, (the Proposal) (subsection 14(2)) and its report of January 31, 2023 (the report), tabled in the House of Commons on February 1, 2023, (subsection 20(1)).

The report is comprised of two parts.

The first reproduces in full the Commission's report tabled in the House of Commons.

The second contains the decisions made by the Commission regarding each of the objections upheld by the Committee. Under subsection 23(1) of the Act, the Commission's mandate is to study the objections, make decisions about them, and transmit a final report, with or without amendments, to the Chief Electoral Officer.

This second part is completed by a summary table of the changes made to appendices A and B of the report; as well as by an appendix regarding the amended maps (boundary descriptions, population figures and names).
