The Representation Act, 1985 (which cover the Grandfather rule where no province can have less seats than in 1985) was enacted under the Section 44 amendment rules which only required House of Commons and Senate support. The Liberal proposal does not attempt to remove the requirement that each province have at least the same amount of MPs as Senators which would have required provincial support.
