I represent a riding in southern Manitoba, and we have a lot of municipalities. The leaders live with the people they represent. They shop with them, they are their neighbours, and their kids go to the same schools. If individuals are not happy, they tell them in the street, “We're not happy with what you're doing. We're not happy with the direction you're taking on a particular issue.” They also tell them at the polls.
The Mayor of Chelsea was here and was very credible, given his position. He does answer to his constituents. If he doesn't represent their views, they will let him know in many different ways. He told us about a couple of groups in Chelsea: H2O Chelsea, and Nature Chelsea. Volunteers test the water and share that information with the NCC.
Is that indicative of some of the other relationships you have with municipalities?
