***Note that the official voter turnout figure in 2000 is 61.2%, but that Elections Canada later realized that this was based on a voters' list that was artificially inflated by almost a million duplicate names. The actual turnout figure is now estimated to be about 64.1%. See the CBC News article about this updated information.
The 2004 election will be conducted with 308 ridings, instead of the 301 contested in the 2000 election. Elections Canada has transposed the 2000 voting results form each of the polls and distributed them into the new ridings that will be used in the 2004 election. The overall results of the 2000 based on the new 308 ridings would have been:

Another interesting scenario to explore is how the results of the 2000 election might have been if one were to combine the votes of the Alliance and PC parties. The pro forma effects would have seen the Conservatives gain 32 seats from the Liberals and 3 from the NDP. There would have been a minority government in place, instead of the Liberal majority government Jean Chrétien was able to form!

Of course, one cannot simply make this transposition of votes into seats as a certain number of people would have voted for different parties. But it is food for thought - the traditional view has been that 40% is the threshold needed to form a majority government, but it would not have been the case for the Liberals in this scenario.
You can look up a table to see how the results would have been in each province (Adobe pdf file). Elections Canada also can show what the results would have been on a riding by riding basis. If you feel like playing with the transposed vote data, you are welcome to download the Excel file (227KB) I compiled with the riding-level data redistributed across the 308 new ridings.
