Quebec Premier François Legault has challenged Prime Minister Justin Trudeau to ensure that the province does not lose a seat in the planned redistribution of parliamentary ridings in Canada.
Legault said that, following the recognition of Quebec as a nation by Parliament, ensuring it does not lose political representation in Ottawa is a “test” for Trudeau.
His challenge to the prime minister to protect Quebec’s political influence in Parliament follows Elections Canada’s plans to strip the province of an MP in the House of Commons.
