There may only be one MLA representing both Flin Flon and The Pas following the next provincial election.

The Manitoba Electoral Division Boundaries Commission recently released an interim report, which included proposed changes to the current electoral district map. Though all ridings have a proposed change, the report suggests the merger of the Flin Flon and The Pas areas.

The Commission said that based on 2016 Census data, all current northern electoral districts are below the established population quota. The report suggests that the Thompson riding be changed to include Gillam and Nelson House, while grouping most First Nations into two electoral districts.

The Commission suggested that Winnipeg should receive an addition region, as the population growth in the provincial capital is higher than anywhere else. The report says that the Commission did not want to add any new districts, leading to the proposed merger of Flin Flon and The Pas.
