Mr. Taillon, the last time a province lost seats in the House of Commons was in 1966, and that affected Quebec, Nova Scotia, Manitoba and Saskatchewan as well, I believe.
This is a bit of a persnickety question, but why should western Canadians, such as Albertans, accept having less representation in the House of Commons? It's not 1867 anymore, but 2022. As you mentioned, our country is a lot bigger now; it's population has grown a lot through immigration, of course, but also through births. We're not a former colony anymore, but a major country in North America. Why do you think western Canadians should accept having less representation in the House of Commons?
