Yes. My existing riding has a larger population than P.E.I.’s, 138,000. About one-third of my riding is moving to what is essentially a new riding on Vancouver Island. Of course I'm disappointed to lose any of those constituents, but they have to make the switch one way or the other to create a new riding because my riding is too large. I either lose people on the west end or I lose people on the north end. The geography means somebody has to go.
