That is a good question because Beauce was to have 112,514 residents under the commission's second and final proposal. The commission is aiming for a quota of 101,000. So we are at approximately 12% or 13%. The usual variance is 10%. However, that would be reduced under the proposal we submitted today. The population of Beauce would be 107,967 residents. So that is slightly lower.
At 112,514 residents under the commission's proposal, Beauce is the most highly populated electrical district in Quebec. The member for Beauce would thus have more legitimacy because he would represent more people. I do not necessarily want that title, and I would like to get back down to a variance of 10%. So with the proposal you have before you, we would drop to 107,967 residents and we would be within acceptable limits, which are plus or minus 10% of the quota.
