I like the idea of guaranteeing parliament representation for minorities in principle, but honestly, there are so many minorities in Canada that you would have to draw the line somewhere and that will always be controversial I think. Some small countries, have officially recognized minorities that are guaranteed to have a select number of representatives, but in those cases, the minorities usually have their own parties and there are only one or two significant minorities.

From a democratic stand point, I like demographic representation more than regional representation (or perhaps a combination of both), but would probably be way too complicated and expensive to implement.
