Quebec electoral map changes spark opposition in Gaspésie and Montreal

Quebec's electoral map faces controversy as the Electoral Representation Commission proposes eliminating two ridings in Gaspésie and Montreal. Opposition parties, the Liberals and Parti Québécois, criticize the commission's insistence on these changes, which would merge Gaspé and Bonaventure and eliminate Montreal's LaFontaine riding, impacting regional political weight. This proposal follows a court ruling that deemed a previous attempt to halt the redistribution process unconstitutional, leaving limited options to alter the commission's revised report due by December 18.
