Northwestern Ontario’s provincial cabinet ministers seem to be in favour of creating two new ridings in northern Ontario.
A commission is being formed to look at dividing up the ridings of Kenora-Rainy River and Timmins-James Bay.
Northern Development Minister Michael Gravelle says the size of those two ridings make it difficult for any MPP to visit every community.
Municipal Affairs Minister, Bill Mauro says the goal is about giving communities, including remote First Nations, better representation at Queen’s Park..
