  • Re: Bill C-14 
Madam Speaker, I thank my hon. colleague for his speech. The commissioners need to work on boundary redistribution in Quebec. The bill is going to set the number of ridings at 77 or 78. Does my colleague think it is important to set this number as soon as possible?

Mr. Speaker, I thank my colleague for his speech. I would like to ask him the following question. Does he think it makes sense for Quebec to lose a seat in the redistribution of the electoral boundaries? Given that this could set a precedent because no province has ever lost a seat before and given that the same thing could also happen in other provinces, the commission should expect opposition from Quebec and even some of the other provinces. Can the government tell the commission not to bring about this type of scenario?
