Our position on representation in the House of Commons is not new. It's a long-standing commitment by this government and this party. As a government we regularly speak to all provinces on a wide range of issues, and we'll obviously look forward to working with the provinces.
At the end of the day this is a principled formula based on the best data available from Statistics Canada on population figures. The provinces received seats out of this formula based on the number of people they have living in the province.
