Based on the arguments the community presented, we tried as much as possible to unify those people in the riding where they actually were, so as not to divide them.
That said, sometimes the community of interest is completely different from what you think. For some people, the community of interest was defined on the basis of personal interests, not those of the community in general. Those kinds of presentations made to us were funny, but we did not go down that path. We tried to bring together the people who asked us if they could be in a specific place, in other words who felt more comfortable in a given location.
I'll give you a very specific example. In southern Beauce, there are three municipalities that are not part of the Beauce, but rather of Mégantic—L'Érable. The representatives of those municipalities came and specifically asked the commission if they could be attached to the Beauce. When we looked at the ridings, we found that strange and didn't understand why. The people explained to us that their interests leaned in that direction because they did business with Beauce. Their community was in Saint-George de Beauce. Their interests were in Saint-George de Beauce. So it was hard to say no to them. The mayors of the three municipalities came together to take the necessary steps and they said the same thing. In our minds, they were part of the other riding. However, a genuine break appeared before us. So we agreed.
