The federal government has tabled legislation to ensure Quebec does not lose a seat when Canada's electoral map is redrawn.
It presented a bill Thursday to protect Quebec's voice in Parliament after it faced losing a seat in an upcoming redistribution based on population.
Because Quebec’s population has declined, it stood to lose an MP in the upcoming redistribution of seats, while other provinces with growing populations, including Alberta, would gain MPs. The last time a province lost a seat in a redistribution was in 1966.
