Drawing the line - the impact of readjusting the electoral boundaries on the official language minority communities : SF31-84/2006
This report is an examination of the mechanisms introduced by electoral boundary commissions and Elections Canada to help meet linguistic obligations in electoral boundary readjustment processes. The report’s 10 recommendations aim to ensure that by the next electoral boundaries redistribution all official language minority communities receive the protection to which they are entitled and that the electoral boundary commissions consider the development of these communities in their work.

| Note(s) | "The study examines the mechanisms introduced by the commissions and by Elections Canada, which provides the commissions with support services to assist them in carrying out their linguistic obligations during the readjustment process. The study shows that the commissions had been made aware of their linguistic obligations from the moment they were established. However, it would appear that this was not enough to ensure that all of the commissions complied with their linguistic obligations"--Executive summary. |
