Not true.... particularly in government that has a majority.

Definitely a benefit. A place where sober second thought should take place, unencumbered by party politics.



Number of Ontario and Quebec MP's = 181
Rest of Canada = 127

Population of Ontario and Quebec: 19.7 million.
Population of rest of Canada: 11.9 million.

Maybe I'm missing your point?
