Elections Canada will be introducing major changes to the country’s federal election map later this year and expects they will be implemented in early 2024, Chief Electoral Officer Stéphane Perrault recently told a House of Commons committee.

As part of the changes, Elections Canada will be redistributing a number of federal ridings’ boundaries that will see the Toronto area lose one of its seats while Alberta will gain three and British Columbia will gain one, Perrault said, as first reported by Blacklock’s Reporter.
