Thanks, Chair.
Thanks to your witnesses.
I'm struggling a bit with this one. We had a similar case in northern Alberta, where there was a new riding being put in and there were implications. What helped the committee was that the MPs came with a pretty comprehensive domino map, saying this is what the commission proposed, and this is what we see as a better alternative, and they justified it with a lot of the arguments that you're making.
I know the area well and I have sympathies, John, in terms of that Powell River hub. There are ferries and connections, but it would be awkward, certainly, to try to represent and go back and forth.
Here's my challenge. I'm looking at the domino effects that you're now talking about going into other ridings. If Powell River comes out and then goes into West Vancouver—Sunshine Coast—Sea to Sky Country, you're talking now about maybe moving Pemberton. You also mentioned Squamish maybe then leaving that riding and going into Chilliwack.
