I can tell you that rural communities in many parts of Canada are struggling to survive. These provisions could accelerate the depopulation, and in some cases the elimination, of rural communities in many parts of Canada. I think that is something we all have a responsibility to consider the repercussions of, and I don't think.... Again, we've not been given the specific criteria or what the impacts could be.
I think in the next couple of years, as those impacts are felt, it's going to create a very different landscape politically, potentially as well for Conservative MPs, representing some of those ridings in places like Atlantic Canada. That's what Conservative MPs are saying when you have quiet discussions with them. They're very concerned about these changes, and I suspect they're expressing them in the Conservative caucus, but they're not being heard.
