You mean that happens outside Saskatchewan too? My Lord.
People are on different sides of the equation, Mr. Dion, wanting to avoid partisanship as much as possible. The city councils of Regina and Saskatoon have both declined to take official positions. Some individual members of council have taken positions. In Saskatoon, for example, Mayor Atchison and Councillor Donauer opposed the new map, but seven councillors, at least—Clark, Hill, Iwanchuk, Jeffries, Loewen, Lorje, and Paulsen—support the new map.
In Regina the new mayor and council are officially neutral. Privately, several councillors and former councillors are supportive of the new map: Councillor Burnett and others on the current council, former Councillors Browne and Clipsham on the previous council.
In Prince Albert, current councillor and former mayor, Don Cody is supportive.
In Moose Jaw, Councillor Mitchell is supportive.
In the north, Chief Tammy Cook-Searson and the entire council of the Lac La Ronge First Nation, which is a very large first nation in northern Saskatchewan, are supportive.
Bob Hale in Swift Current and the editorial boards of both the Saskatoon StarPhoenix and the Regina Leader-Post have indicated their support, as have the majority of the political science departments of both the University of Saskatchewan and the University of Regina.
Then, of course, SUMA—as you point out, the Saskatchewan Urban Municipal Association represents a broad cross-section of opinion, and they submitted a very strong brief to the boundaries commission that was quoted at length in the commission.
SUMA represents communities in which about 75% to 80% of Saskatchewan people live, and they obviously hold a strong view with respect to the validity and the importance of the new map.
