Canada

: By contrast, Statistics Canada estimate of Canada total provincial populations in January 2015 was 35,585,821, according to The Chronicle Herald. Since Canada has 703 provincial constituencies/ridings, the average provincial MLA represents 50,620 persons. It was represented at Province House by 51 MLAs, each of whom represents an average of 18,501 people. If our MLAs each represented the same number of people as the average provincial MLA across Canada, Nova Scotians would only need 19 MLAs. Get his own legislative house in order. In controlling costs, Premier Stephen McNeil must lead by example. 1. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
