The other challenge that you've come up against—or that the boundaries commission, all of them, come up against—is that sense of competing priorities, right? There's one just around population number and trying to balance out the work of MPs' logistics. I'm not sure if the commission can. It's hard to properly appreciate what it is to drive in the middle of February around some of these roads and leave your riding and come back into another one three or four times in a trip.
In terms of the competing interests, one of the strong ones that seems to be coming out early on is those communities of interest. The communities, as you said, Mr. Jean, are tied to one another economically. There are cultural connections, historical connections. It seems me to rise to the surface as one of the predominant filters on which we drive these maps through. If you break that rule for some other convenience, you run into so many other problems, never mind just driving distances and whatnot.
