More seats needed in the House, not fewer
The Tories want to cut 10 seats from the 48-seat legislature and redraw the district boundary lines before the next general election.
After Liberal Leader Dwight Ball said last week he supported the Tories aims, he emerged Monday morning to say his party wont support the legislation without some key changes, and early signs indicate the opposition parties will use House procedural rules to slow down passage of the bill.
Only NDP Leader Lorraine Michael is actually saying shes considering a filibuster.

Ball said the Progressive Conservative proposal for House of Assembly reform is set up to fail.
The Liberals insist that Labrador must have a minimum of four seats in the House of Assembly, and the general election cannot be moved into 2016.
Ball is also against the idea of simply cutting 10 MHAs from the legislature; he said hed like to see the Electoral Boundaries Commission given a range between 38 and 42 MHAs.
The Liberals wont say if theyll filibuster the legislation, but theyre not ruling that out.
Right now, all options are on the table, Liberal House Leader Andrew Parsons said.
All of this shapes up for a drawn-out fight in the legislature this week, which could run into next week.
