You're right when you mentioned Brampton West had over 170,000 people. That was in 2006. We're probably closer to 180,000 or 190,000 now. True representation by population with the system that we have, with the very large country and the varying populations that we have, and some of the seat guarantees that we have in the Constitution, would actually require over 900 members of Parliament in the House of Commons. The House of Commons could not accommodate those. Also Canadians don't want that. That's not acceptable.
What we have put forward is a formula that moves all provinces towards representation by population in a principled manner. Every province is brought closer to representation by population. It's a formula that's fair for all provinces, and it maintains the seats for those smaller provinces so their representation is protected.
