It is because we committed our formula to update the seats in order to address the underrepresentation gap in a way that is fair for all provinces, unlike the Liberal plan, which would take seats away from the smaller provinces, which we find to be unfair.
The other thing I will address is your concern about seat growth in the future. Yes, 30 seats are being added now to address the underrepresentation gap. That's a big jump, but it addresses it quickly. In the future, based on current population projections, 11 seats will be added in 2021, and in 2031 only 5 seats will be added. Your concern about this huge House of Commons growth is unfounded. There's reasonable growth with this formula. This formula gives a balance between adding seats for the underrepresented provinces, but also having reasonable growth in the House of Commons.
