Thank you, Mr. Speaker. However, given the disparity and the number of electors in the current system, Yellowknife should have more representatives so that Yellowknife has at least a minimum of 35 percent to 45 percent representation in this Legislature. For comparison, in reference to my previous comments, Nunavut with a population of 24,730 people will have 19 ridings. Iqaluit, the capital, will have three ridings, representing a population of 4,220 people.
