Felt that because of their small population, they would have a few representatives in Confederation compared to all the other colonies due to the smaller populating so they're needs would not be heard. 4. PEI's economy depends all in fisheries but if they join the confederation there will be more fishing ships around PEI and catch lots of fishes. 5.
