Well, I prefer fewer seats in the House of Commons. I got anxious about it once it hit about 295. Obviously, therefore, I would prefer 308 seats to 338 seats. I don't appreciate all the technicalities in the bill, but I don't understand, quite frankly, the projections that the current bill would accommodate population growth for decades to come. The issue isn't the overall population in Canada, but interprovincial migration. We can have dramatic shifts, as we have had, out of Saskatchewan and in and out of Alberta, which would result, if you can ever lower those numbers of seats, to a perpetually increasing House.
