Newfoundland and Labrador's Premier is reviewing the size of the 48-seat legislature months before he must call an election.
The office of Paul Davis says the prospect of reducing the number of seats is under review.
A decision is expected later this week.
Davis under provincial law must call an election within a year of the date he was sworn in as premier last Sept. 26.
The issue of the number of seats in Newfoundland and Labrador came up during the Tory leadership race as politicians in the province represent fewer constituents than in most other parts of Canada.
