The dark lines are the commission's proposal and what you see in colours are what's proposed this morning.

So the existing over here is brown. The dark lines are what the commission is proposing, and the colour differences are what the members at the table are proposing.

Chair, if I could just add, we started this on a point of order. I hate the idea of taking this out of Mr. Atamanenko's time.

But I'm glad you said that because I'm still confused. I get what's on the right now. On the left we've been told there are three things there, but I see two things. I see a boundary that looks like the exact riding that is....

You see that there's blue, brown, green, and purple. We're talking about the brown one, that's the riding as it exists. Those dark black lines.

Okay.
All right, the point was not that Penticton is being taken out, because I see Penticton is still there. That was what you just said a second ago.

I think what makes it confusing is that in the suggestions it's to go back to the current. You have to look at the border. The dark lines, that's the commission's proposal.

Okay.
Essentially, it boils down to an argument for a return to the status quo. Now I understand.
Thank you.
