I would just like to add something to what you have said.
There are rural ridings. I am going to make a joke here. We should split Montreal into 18 Quebec administrative regions and spread all the electors in Montreal around the other regions in the province. That way, there would be equal numbers of electors everywhere in the province.
Seriously, the issue you have raised is an important one. That is a situation I live with. The members around this table do not represent urban ridings alone, they also represent rural ridings. We represent these people and we would like to meet them more often. However, the large distances prevent us from doing that. I have travelled 1,500 to 2,000 kilometres in a weekend in my own riding to take part in activities. It becomes virtually inhuman at a certain point. The distances are very large.
