If you look at the past, such has been the case. We have people from the north, people representing first nations, women who came to the Senate. Women generally had difficulty getting elected in this country.
Now, I know your position; you're certainly showing it to us. But somehow we have to come up with an in-between, where we make sure that people are represented as people, and that every person in this country and every group in this country--first nations, for example.... In your own province of Alberta, a great number of the Blood, for example, have 10,000 people living in some of their communities. How would they get elected in Alberta? I don't think we've ever had in Saskatchewan a changing demographic group.
Somehow, whatever this bill results in, Madam Chair, I hope it can reflect what's best for all peoples of the country and not have certain people dominating because of the particular demographic group they represent.
Thank you.
