The question is not necessarily the number of seats, but rather respect for Quebec's representation in the House. We are in favour of respecting the 24.35% figure that was established when the resolution was adopted in the House in 2006 recognizing Quebec as a distinct nation. We believe that recognition entails respect for the 24.35% figure.
Do those three seats represent that? You'd have to take a look at the census data or wait for the new motion that will be adopted after this committee meeting to see what is put on the table. In short, we are really in favour of respecting the 24.35% figure.
