Message | Mr. Speaker, We are not sure if we can support this or not. While we feel region population should have an affect on the seating in Parliament, it would seem to make more sense to allow the larger regions to have more representation given they have a larger and more varied voice. We shall consider this bill, but for the moment we shall abstain. We will however vote before the deadline. I yield. |
