My experience in this is that the last time there was a change in British Columbia, it didn't involve Vancouver Island. So I had a buy on that. Maybe I was a little naive. I was led to believe the MP participation was not a public process, so I didn't make a presentation to the commission; we were busy with other things. Perhaps that was naive on my part. Also, I couldn't see a solution for Powell River. There were still some discussions on how best to manage the Powell River issue. Having had some time to reflect on that, we're hopeful the solutions that are being put forward now are ones which, with the assistance of the committee, the commission will be pleased to reconsider.
