In accordance with the provisions of the Electoral Boundaries Readjustment Act, R.S.C. 1985, Chapter E-3 (hereinafter called "the Act"), a Federal Electoral Boundaries Commission was established for the province of Quebec by proclamation dated April 16, 2002, and published on May 8, 2002. The Commission consists of the following members:

Chairman: The Honourable Pierre Boudreault, Q.C.
Deputy Chairman: Mr. Victor Cayer, LL. L.
Member: Mr. Pierre Prémont, Ph.D.

The 2001 decennial census established the population of the province of Quebec at 7,237,479. In accordance with subsection 14(1) of the Act, the Chief Electoral Officer determined that this figure means that the representation of the province of Quebec in the House of Commons will remain at seventy-five (75) seats. Accordingly, this province is divided into seventy-five (75) electoral districts. By dividing the figure for the population of Quebec by seventy-five (75), the result is an electoral quota of 96,500 for each of the electoral districts. It is worth noting that the electoral quota further to the 1981 census was 85,845 whereas the one further to the 1991 census, when the last readjustment took place, was 91,946. The new quota, therefore, represents increases of 12.41% and 4.95%, respectively.

(1) In preparing its report, each commission for a province shall, subject to subsection (2), be governed by the following rules:

(a) the division of the province into electoral districts and the description of the boundaries thereof shall proceed on the basis that the population of each electoral district in the province as a result thereof shall, as close as reasonably possible, correspond to the electoral quota for the province, that is to say, the quotient obtained by dividing the population of the province as ascertained by the census by the number of members of the House of Commons to be assigned to the province as calculated by the Chief Electoral Officer under subsection 14(1); and

(b) the commission shall consider the following in determining reasonable electoral district boundaries:

(i) the community of interest or community of identity in or the historical pattern of an electoral district in the province, and

(ii) a manageable geographic size for districts in sparsely populated, rural or northern regions of the province.

(2) The commission may depart from the application of the rule set out in paragraph (1)(a) in any case where the commission considers it necessary or desirable to depart therefrom

(a) in order to respect the community of interest or community of identity in or the historical pattern of an electoral district in the province, or

(b) in order to maintain a manageable geographic size for districts in sparsely populated, rural or northern regions of the province,

but, in departing from the application of the rule set out in paragraph (1)(a), the commission shall make every effort to ensure that, except in circumstances viewed by the commission as being extraordinary, the population of each electoral district in the province remains within twenty-five per cent more or twenty-five per cent less of the electoral quota for the province.

By applying these rules to the electoral quota of 96,500, the results should show that the minimum and maximum populations of an electoral district should be 72,375 and 120,625. However, given the goal that the legislator aimed for, the Commission maintains that the greatest possible number of electoral districts should ideally fall within a maximum variance of 10% of the electoral quota.

According to the 2001 decennial census, the profile of the province of Quebec is as follows:

Traditionally, Quebec electoral districts are reviewed by dividing the whole province into three large regions, namely the North Shore of the St. Lawrence, the South Shore of the St. Lawrence and Montréal. Given this distribution, the results of this census provide:

Although the regional variances fall relatively within the standards, the Commission had to make readjustments as the evolution of the Quebec population had generated significant variances in certain electoral districts, given the 2001 electoral quota. Thus, according to the 2001 census, seven (7) electoral districts have a variance in excess of 25% and nine (9) electoral districts have a negative variance of more than 25%, namely:

Also, eleven (11) electoral districts have a positive variance between 10% and 25% and eleven (11) electoral districts have a negative variance between 10% and 25%, namely:

Thirty-eight (38) electoral districts out of seventy-five (75), or 50.66%, thus fall within an unacceptable or undesirable variance according to the general principles stated and applied by the Commission.

After redistribution, further to the new scenario proposed here by the Commission regarding electoral district boundaries (the number of electoral districts and the electoral quota remaining the same), the modifications give the following regional results:

** Consequently, the South Shore had its territory enlarged to the west of the island of Montréal.

In light of the elements described in subsection 15(1) of the Act, which served as constant guidelines, namely respecting the community of interest, the community of identity of an electoral district, the cultural identity and historical pattern, the Commission applied the principles of the 25% and 10% mentioned above. As it proposes boundaries in which all electoral districts fall between the minimum and maximum population, the situation had to be adjusted in many electoral districts.

Frequently, changes in the boundaries of an electoral district have a direct effect on at least one neighbouring electoral district and, at times, indirect effects on some others. Aiming for the desirable equity, and considering that such readjustment has a time horizon of a decade, the Commission targeted a variance of more or less 5%, giving no greater priority to this target than to respecting such elements as the community of interest, the needs of voters, their affinities, their homogeneity as well as their centres of focus. Thus, the Commission has been able to maintain a variance of more or less 5% for seventy-one (71) of the seventy-five (75) electoral districts in Quebec so that only the four (4) following electoral districts show different variances:

It should be noted, therefore, that only two electoral districts have a variance greater than 10%, namely Nunavik, with a population of 79,573 (-17.54%) and Manicouagan, with a population of 84,872 (-12.05%). These two electoral districts also represent the largest territories of the province of Quebec.

These changes were made by taking into consideration both the new reality, namely the evolution of the population and the merging of municipalities, as well as the historical pattern, namely the current boundaries, the former cities, regional county municipalities and natural boundaries. A large number of electoral districts have seen major changes. However, two electoral districts have remained unchanged, namely:

Thirty (30) other electoral districts underwent minor changes in their territories, namely:

The changes in boundaries also brought about the following changes in the names of electoral districts. To do so, we have again taken into account the new reality and the historical pattern.

Among other things, the Commission drew on recommendations made by various commissions on toponymy. The guidelines for selecting the names of federal electoral districts published by the Secretariat of the Geographical Names Board of Canada in December 2001 were given uppermost consideration:

The Commission proceeded to use single-word names that were, hopefully, both the most representative of the electoral district and that seemed to be able to rally the greatest number of citizens in the community.

In this manner, the Commission determined new names for eleven (11) electoral districts, namely:

Finally, the Commission turned to former names for the sixty-four (64) other electoral districts, namely:

The Federal Electoral Boundaries Commission for Quebec has prepared a proposal dividing the province into seventy-five (75) electoral districts. The names, boundaries, populations and descriptions are found below, and the maps follow the text.
