The basis of distribution of seats among he provinces is fixed by the ‘British North Amerea Act, which 'provides that Quebec shall have a fixed representation of 65 members, ‘and that there shall be assigned to each of the other provinces such a number of members as will bear the same proportion to the number of its population as 65 bears to the ; number of the population 0f Quebec.. Quebec’s pOpulation, according to the census just completed is 2,261,199. This divided by 65 should give the unit of representation. In the comâ€" putation of the number of members for a province a. fractional part not exceeding one-half shall be disre- garded; if greater than one-half it shall be consideredlequivalent to the whole number.
