Yes, I would.
I appreciate what Mr. Dion did in reading from the commission's justification. I am very loath to tear apart the work they've done. I think shuffling the deck is difficult.
Mr. Lunney referred to the three ridings up island and the three in the south straddling the mountain called the Malahat, which I think is a very fair way of putting it.
I am very concerned about this committee revisiting the work that was done. I mean, he said it was unnatural to separate Courtenay and Comox, but according to the committee that heard testimony and studied it, they said it was just fine. So there was a diversity of opinion and they came down where they did. I'm concerned about the domino effect. I must be all over the island; it's a small place.
Also, it wasn't clear from Mr. Lunney whether he did confer with my colleague, Ms. Crowder. I wasn't clear on his answer. I've not been consulted as one member on the island.
I'm worried about this teasing out in order to do the Powell River stuff, for which I'm sympathetic, but the consequences, I think, for the rest of us are pretty significant.
