NDP MP pans increase in House of Commons seats

At least one northwestern Ontario Member of Parliament is panning plans to increase the number of seats in the House of Commons.

Thunder Bay-Superior North MP Bruce Hyer doesn't think more seats are necessary.

A recent report suggests the Harper Government could add 13 more seats for Ontario but Hyer says that won't fix parliament.

Hyer says if a party wins 30 percent of the votes they should have 30 percent of the seats.
