At first I thought a lot of parts of rural NL were being over-represented, but after looking at the electoral map it isn't as bad as I thought. So I think now the region cuts will probably be a healthy mix of rural and urban.

I can see, or would suggest:

-Losing 2 of 4 in Labrador, splitting the area up into either east/west, or north/south
-Combining 3 of the Norther Peninsula districts into 2.
-Combining 2 of the Southern Burin Peninsula districts, leaving the norther part in it's current district, or a re-alignment so that the entire peninsula falls under one MHA (though it'd be heavily populated).
-Conception Bay North shrinking from 4 to 2-3 districts
-Some of the north-east coast's smaller districts coming together
-Some shifting/elimination of St. John's urban areas.
