Yes, absolutely.
Concerning the proposed Peace River–Westlock riding—which I reject because I feel Westlock has completely different interests and is geographically separated—I believe it's important that the Peace River riding, or that general area, be served by an MP who can connect to all of those areas.
What I proposed is a grouping of communities accessible through highways in such a way that you don’t have to drive six hours to get to another community, because we are constrained by where we can get to by road. I think it's absolutely essential for that to be taken into consideration.
Concerning the deviations in terms of what we had proposed, or that I and my colleagues have proposed, I circulated a sheet about the populations of these proposed ridings as well as the deviations. You can see the largest deviation is negative, nearly around 12% for Peace River.
Like Mr. Jean, I reject the Canadian census data, because my municipalities have also rejected it. If you had an accurate census, you would find that the populations are consistent and would be in the same general areas as the other ridings.
I think it's important that you build a riding connected by roads and with interests that are shared.
