The point I'm trying to make is that agriculture needs a strong voice. If you end up taking and making purely urban ridings in the province, you diminish the voice of agriculture. That's the effect it would have on my riding. We need to have that strong voice, and the more MPs you have representing, or at least partially representing, rural areas, the stronger the voice of agriculture. It's so important to the Canadian economy.
