If what we choose is to use some projection of population, even over the short-term because long-term projections wouldn't make sense, that's would be no problem.
The party hasn't discussed that in particular, but I'd be happy to take that back to our party to discuss it. As long as that formula is applied fairly, there will be no problem. In other words, if we can look at the most recent statistical data, fine. If we can anticipate where things are heading within the next several years, that will be fine. But in the formula you're using right now, we're not getting to a balanced distribution as yet, and the way in which it's applied doesn't seem consistent across the board.
There may be historical reasons. I can understand the constitutional reasons and I obviously understand the demographic reasons with the smallest of ridings or the most remote of ridings. With Saskatchewan, however, right now the average population is 70,000 or 69,000 people per riding, so even with quite a bit of growth in Saskatchewan—and I happen to be a prairie boy—you've still got a long way to go before you get up to Alberta, which is currently at 117,000 per riding. That's a big difference.
