But the population in the North is flat or even declining (Kenora) whereas we can expect thousands more people to be living in Riverside South and Stittsville by the time the proposed changes would come into effect, and presumably the Commission is taking that into account their rationale,
although they don't say so in the document explaining their reasons for the proposals, so there you are....

The Commission proposes that the electoral district of Nepean—Carleton be comprised of the current electoral district, adjusted as follows: plus that portion of the current electoral district of Carleton—Mississippi Mills lying south of Terry Fox Drive and Highways No. 7 and 417; less the proposed new electoral district of Nepean. It has a population of 91,550 and is 13.81% below the provincial quota.
