@ THE OSHAWA TIMES, Monday, December 2, 1963 SANTA PARADE ATTRACTS sr mea 2: os 7 oe THOUSANDS Care Urged : ¥ 4 In Selection ~ loo Lutheran REPORT TO DURHAM By RUSSELL C. HONEY, MP * Redistribution debates in the past have been among the most partisan and stormy recorded in 4\the Hansard of Canada's Parlia. ment, This has been so because members have exhibited pro- prietary interests in their own S\constituencies. There have been maneuvers in which one party has tried to hurt the other, and in which various injustices were 4\done to individual members of +|Parliament who saw their rid- ing jerrymandered by a ruth- fess government majority intent on removing political adversar- ies by one means or another. The Canadian constitution pro- vides that the boundaries of the electoral disirtets or constituen- cies are to be reviewed afer each decennial census. The last census was taken in 1961 and it is now the duty of Parliament to make some necessary pro- vision to readjust constituency |boundaries to reflect the growth and shift in population in the ten years since the last redis- tribution carried out after the 1/1951 census, In introducing the resolution to set up the machinery for re- distribution, Secretary of State |\J. W. Pickersgill made it clear that the government would not follow the practice used by all governments since Confedera- tion whereby this task was per- formed by a Parliamentary} Committee on which the govern- jment of the day had a majority of the members, Mr, Pickers: New Method Planned For Redistribution These commissions will be under the general supervision of a commissioner who will be ap- pointed by agreement of. all parties in the House. There seems now to be general agree- ment that this office could be most capably filled by Nelson Castonguay, the present Chief Electoral Officer for Canada. In| suggesting Mr. Castonguay's name Mr. Pickersgill said, 'I do not mind saying at once why I feel he (Mr. Castonguay) would be acceptable, We have bad four elections since 1957 in a period of a little over six years, Although some of those elections were quite bitterl > CO A aa it is much easer for a member} of Parliament: to service the re- quirements of his constituents than in the case of a rural rid- ing, the boundaries of which may extend two-or three hun- dred miles as the case of some of the more sparsely populated provinces. Consideration will no doubt to also given to geograph- ic factors, the accessibility of regions within a constituency and so on, If Parliament 'processes the) legislation quickly so that the) commissions can be set up and) got to work at once, it is en-| visaged that the reports will be/| available in 1965 and that by the ffought and many hard thittgs |were said, I have not heard in any quarter of the House, no |matter who was in office or who |was in opposition, any sugges- \tion that they were not conduct- led witn the Itmost propricty J |think that all of us as Cana- dians can be proud of that." Today there is a great dis- crepancy in the number of con- stituents represented by Mem- vers of Parliament. At the ex- tremes are Iles-de-la-Madcleine (population 12,479) and York- Scarborough (population 267,- 252). Referring to the dut:es of the Commissions, Mr. Pickers- gill said, "It is our duty to treat all the people of this country jauumn of 1965 an election could ibe held on the basis of the re distributed constituencies, If an election is held before the autumn of 1965 it will have to be) conducted on the basis of the constituencies as they exist to- day. With the existing wide var- iations in constituency boundar- les existing today it would ap- pear to be in the interest of fairness to all Canadians to see jthe redistribtuion completed be- fore the next election. This seems to be a very compelling argument, and one which will no doubt be considered by all] 'political parties toying with the .-idea of an election. It seems that prognostications equally, so far as we can, andjare the order of the day. Will fess about self government, then roughly each of them should have an equal voice in_ this \if we really mean what we pro-|you permit me to join in... my prophesy (considering many facors and the redistribution is only one of several important Mrs. Kennedy Ends Reunion WASHINGTON (AP) -- Mrs. Jacqueline Kennedy and her two children returned to Washington Sunday night from a Thanks. giving weekend reunion with the Kennedy family at Hyannis Port, Mass.
