I am writing to express strong opposition to proposed Bill 5. This legislation undermines democratic representation by reducing the number of elected officials without adequate public consultation or consideration of local impacts. Limiting representation can diminish accountability and reduce the ability of communities to have their voices heard in decisions that affect their daily lives. Any changes to governance structures should be made transparently and with broad public input, not through expedited legislative action. I urge the government to reconsider this bill and engage meaningfully with constituents and municipal leaders before proceeding further.
