Provincial electoral boundaries absent. Intentional?

Looking at features around Lonsdale, North Vancouver, I would expect to see both of:

But I only see the federal district mapped. Looking in a few other places around Canada, the same issue arises. Is the absence of provincial electoral boundaries intentional? If not, I could pull them in (e.g. GIS Spatial Data | Elections BC). If so, rationale?

I suspect the license hasn’t been approved. No license is listed at all on that page, but looking at the closest result in the open data portal I could quickly find, I don’t see the “Elections BC Open Data Licence” listed on the wiki page for Canada or the LWG’s Canada page. It looks extremely similar to the approved BC OGL 2.0, to the point I suspect they’re effectively identical, but because it’s more than just changing the name (e.g., it removes a sentence on more specific attribution statements for information providers, swaps “to the maximum extent permitted by law” with “of any kind and on any legal basis”, etc.), and I’m not a lawyer, I can’t make that call.

I see your point! I’ll reach out to legal-questions@osmfoundation.org as per Licensing Working Group - OpenStreetMap Foundation.
