Madam Speaker, I thank my colleague from Rosemont—La Petite‑Patrie for his question.
He is quite right. In the agreement that our government entered into with his party, the NDP, we agreed to maintain the 78 seats Quebec presently has in the House of Commons. That is exactly what this very targeted bill will do.
As for other enhancements that we have agreed to make, I concur with my colleague from Rosemont—La Petite‑Patrie on the need to make it easier to vote by increasing the number of voting days or allowing, for example, access to voting on campus.
In my opinion, all these reforms will have to be made in consultation with the Standing Committee on Procedure and House Affairs and following the recommendations of the Chief Electoral Officer of Canada.
Given that the electoral redistribution process is already under way, we are presenting a targeted and specific bill to respond to the issue of the provinces' demographic weight and provincial representation. We will definitely have the opportunity to work together on other enhancements.
