I don't think that was the intended plan. It would have the same breakdown as it currently does (same number for every province, not based on population at all) but the members would be elected instead of appointed. This would mean a better representation based on the area - ie: if BC and the Maritimes vote in a NDP senator, they'll actually have NDP senators. As it is currently, it will always be either Conservative or Liberal senators.
