The problem is now to redraw the map of Canadian electoral 'Districts to take into account uch things as population shifts 'Bnd increases since the current "Map was drawn Parliament in 1952. The government plans to have the electoral map drawn by an independent commission instead of by Parliament so it sent' Mr. Castonguay to Australia and New Zealand for a first-hand look at the systems there. He Teturned earlier this week. An independent redistribution commission was proposed in the last Parliament by the Conserv- ative government but the legis- tation died when Parliament was dissolved for the April elec- tion. TELLS OF TALKS Mr. Castonguay said iw-an in terview Wednesday that talks with the men who operate the 60-year-old redistribution com- mission in Australia and a simi- jar system in New Zealand pro- vided him with valuable in sights into the techniques and materials employed amd the technical help that would be re- quired for such a system in Can-| ada. It's a safe bet the govern- "ment's. planned legislation will draw heavily on some of the things found by Mr. Caston- guay. _ One of the key factors in such legislation is the variation Par- liament will permit from the basic aumber of persons within a constituency. Canada's population has risen In Canada the variation is al- most unlimited. For example, Tles-de-la-Madeleine has 12,479 population and the Toronto sub- urban riding of york-Scarbor- ough 267,252. Thus Liberal Mau- rice Moreau (York - Scarbor- ough) represents about 21 times as many voters as Liberal Mau- rice Sauve (Iles-de - la-Made- leine) but has only one vote in Parliament: : Such wide variations arise partly because of the difficulty in getting agreement among po- litical parties to carve up the electoral map to elimimate the discrepancies when the map is drawn by Parliament. The Conservative legislation in the last Parliament proposed a 33-per-cent population varia- tion with room for even wider variations under special circum- stances. Even with variations of that size, every parliamentary con- stituency except the Yukon and Northwest Territories is likely to be radically altered in shape ~NEW! under redistribution by a com mission, DON'T REFLECT DIVISION At present, constituency boun-| daries don't reflect the great) [preponderance of urban and/ |suburban voters over rural vot-| jers. The object of commission redistribution is to bring the ur- ban-suburban voters to more equal terms with the rural voter. This ticklish task, involving political and regional interests, is handled by separate federal and provincial commissions in Australia. At the federal level, there are separate commissions for each state which include Australia's chief electoral offi- cer, chief state electoral officer and the state surveyor-general New Zealand's commissions are somewhat larger in mem- bership and include nominees of the governing party and the chief opposition party. | | 1 } | so rapidly that the basic unit for a constituency here 'has been/ driven up from 45,578 persons) in 1946 to almost 71,000 at pres-| ent. | Australia uses the number of, electors rather than the popula-) tion for its basic unit which, de- pending on the area, is set at) between 37,000 and 43,000 eligi-| ble voters, New Zealand, like) Canada, uses population and its' basic unit is between 28,800 and 29,500 persons.
