Prince Edward Island has four (4) seats in the House of Commons.

Based on the population of the province, the calculation for proportional representation would result in one (1) seat for the province. Prince Edward Island receives three (3) additional members of the House of Commons due to section 51A of the Constitution Act, 1867, which sets out that no province can be represented by less members in the House of Commons than it is represented in the Senate.
