Extraordinary readjustment of boundaries in 2005[edit]

The current version of the article is not clear about how the boundaries of Acadie—Bathurst and Miramichi were readjusted in 2004 and then readjusted again in 2005. The standard practice in Canada is for the boundaries of federal electoral districts to be readjusted based on the decennial census in years ending with "1". The new boundaries come into effect across the country at the same time, not piecemeal as they are completed. While the names of electoral districts can change one at a time between elections, the boundaries remain unchanged from election to election, except for the nationwide readjustment once every ten years. An exception occurred in Acadie—Bathurst and Miramichi. Those were the only two districts having different boundaries for the 2006 general election than they did for the 2004 general election.

On 2004-MAY-11, the Federal Court (Canada) released its decision in Raîche v. Canada (Attorney General), setting aside a certain decision of the Federal Electoral Boundaries Commission for New Brunswick, respecting the boundary between Acadie—Bathurst and Miramichi. [1] However, the court suspended its decision for one year, so the impugned boundaries went into effect for the June 2004 general election (along with new boundaries for districts in all provinces). Later, because of the court decision, a special commission was established, the Miramichi and Acadie—Bathurst Electoral Boundaries Commission.[2]. On 2004-DEC-08 this Commission filed its final report.[3].

Parliament enacted a statute, An Act to change the boundaries of the Acadie–Bathurst and Miramichi electoral districts, in February 2005.[4] This came into effect before the January 2006 general election. It is very, very rare for a couple of districts to have the boundary between them changed between elections, except for the decennial readjustment when boundaries nationwide are changed simultaneously.
