READJUSTMENT OF REPRESENTATION IN COMMONS
51.- 1. The number of members of the House of Commons and the
representation of the provinces therein shall, on the coming into force of this
subsection and thereafter on the completion of each decennial census, be
readjusted by such authority, in such manner, and from such time as the
Parliament of Canada from time to time provides, subject and according to the
following rules:
Rules 1. There shall be assigned to each of the provinces a number
of members equal to the number obtained by dividing the total population of the
provinces by two hundred and seventy-nine and by dividing the population of
each province by the quotient so obtained, counting any remainder in excess of
0.50 as one after the said process of division.
2. If the total number of members that would be assigned to a province by
the application of rule is less than the total number assigned to that province
on the date of coming into force of this subsection, there shall be added to
the number of members so assigned such number of members as will result in the
province having the same number of members as were assigned on that date.
Yukon territory and Northwest Territories
2. The Yukon Territory as bounded and described in the schedule to chapter
Y-2 of the Revised Statutes of Canada, 1970, shall be entitled to one member,
