30 more MPs for parliament

The Conservatives tabled legislation to add thirty more seats to parliament.

The Fair Representation Act was tabled in response Canada’s fastest growing provinces.  The lion’s share of new seats would go to Ontario which has experienced the largest population growth.  Following is  Alberta, British Columbia and Quebec.

The Canadian Taxpayers' Federation expects the bid to cost Canadians an extra  $18 million a year.  Opposition parties feel they’ve been locked out of the process completely.
