Quebec will NOT lose a seat. I am almost certain Parliament will pass an exemption so they can stay at 78.
adma:
(1) I don't know why Quebec, of all provinces, would lose a seat (unless it was deemed to have gotten too *many* in the last redistribution)
(2) only under a Trudeau Liberal government could they get away with even *entertaining* the idea of a lost seat--the outcry under a Conservative government would be deafening. (Ironically, it's the Conservatives under whom Quebec gained seats for the first time in ages)
beesley:
If Quebec had it's 78th seat granted back, would there be increases in Ontario, Alberta or British Columbia to further even it out?

No. It would be granted through an act of Parliament, and would bypass the representation formula all together.
