Thank you.
Madam Perreault, you were mentioning that local representation is extremely important to you and to your association. You talked about parachuting and how that wouldn't be acceptable. To parachute a candidate into a region where they don't have local ties is not preferred by you or your association. I find that's true. I've seen that happen in my riding as well, and there was a big protest against it. Even the local riding association didn't want to help represent that candidate because they were parachuted in.
With your list system that you've created, Mr. Mireault, you said there were about 113 list members who would be divided among the different provinces. Would they be assigned to a riding of a sort, or would they set up a local constituency office? Where would that be, and how would we make sure that the local representation piece was still there so we wouldn't be parachuting people in?
