Currently, if you look at the demographics of my constituency, 70% is aboriginal and 30% is non-aboriginal. What I'm trying to say is that you have to represent everyone equally. I was hoping to maintain the status quo. What I found the commission did was gerrymandering in trying to change the demographics of the riding.
What you're looking at is about economics for northern Saskatchewan. When you have the Pelican Narrows and the Sandy Bays and you have to drive through Smeaton to access Prince Albert.... That central trading corridor is very beneficial for southern Saskatchewan into the agricultural area. They benefit both ways, because we're seeing first nations travelling up to Flin Flon, and they're also bringing back trade into those communities. The first nations are also dependent on the southern portion of the province or in the other constituency.
