Well sort of, except the distortions of First Past the Post and regionalism mean that some votes are more valuable than other votes. This has direct outcomes on the legislation that the government produces. In this particular case of this particular legislation, we have the government focusing strongly on an issue of particular importance in Quebec, because those seats are critically important for them remaining government. If we had a proportional representation system then regionalism wouldn't be as important and we'd see the government focus on different policy objectives.
