Rickford looks at riding re-distribution

Plans to increase the number of federal ridings in Ontario may not necessarily be a good thing for northwestern Ontario.

Kenora M.P. says even though our riding is one of the largest in Canada, it has the lowest population outside of Prince Edward Island.

The last report by the Federal Electoral Boundaries Commission had recommending increasing the size of the Kenora Riding to include part of Thunder Bay-Superior North.
