The Provincial Principles fewer politicians, lower taxes, better, more efficient service delivery, less bureaucracy and clear accountability are included within these four criteria. The criteria are discussed below. The specific evaluation indicators are outlined as well.

Few special purpose bodies and size of budgets covered by such bodies. Adequate representation of all local communities. Communities of Interest Jurisdiction includes communities with some common interest and relevant boundaries.
