Thank you.
Thank you to our colleagues for appearing before us today. My question is around the concept of communities of interest. I'm reminded a little bit of a system we have in Ontario where we have four levels of government, in essence. We have municipal, regional, provincial, and then federal.
The region does this. Saskatchewan, as a province on a much larger scale, reminds me of the same thing, although the region I live in is 1.1 million people, roughly the same as the population here. There are things that tie the community together, irrespective of the distance. That was a key point in Commissioner David Marit's report, in which he dissented from the other two members of the commission.
I wonder if you could comment on just that point with respect to your ridings.
Go ahead, Mr. Hoback.
