That means that radical change would entrench the following: British Columbia, with over 4.5 million people, would get six seats in the Senate; Alberta, with 3.8 million people, would get six seats; Manitoba, with 1.2 million people, would get six seats; Saskatchewan, with just barely over a million people, would get six seats; Newfoundland, with a population of 512,000 people, would get six seats; and, just to round it out, P.E.I. , with a 150,000 people, would get four seats.
Voici ce que cela signifierait: la Colombie-Britannique, qui compte plus de 4,5 millions d'habitants, obtiendrait six sièges au Sénat; l'Alberta, qui compte 3,8 millions d'habitants, obtiendrait six sièges; le Manitoba, qui compte 1,2 million d'habitants, obtiendrait six sièges; la Saskatchewan, qui compte à peine plus d'un million d'habitants, obtiendrait six sièges; Terre-Neuve, qui compte 512 000 habitants, obtiendrait six sièges et, juste pour obtenir un chiffre rond, l'Île-du-Prince-Édouard, qui compte 150 000 habitants, obtiendrait quatre sièges.
