Mr. Menegakis, I believe the point that Ms. Hughes raises is very important. There is the number of people that a member represents, and there is the number of communities. Those are two different realities in terms of territories and administrative entities that must be represented. I would dare say that is certainly an additional argument.
Consider my situation, for example, which I hope to preserve and that my successor will preserve. There are 30 municipalities plus a central city, Lévis, which I share with another member, Mr. Gourde. That is great.
It is possible for one person to cover that area. I am coming back to the reality of Montmagny—L'Islet—Kamouraska—Rivière-du-Loup. Of course, if I talk to the people from Les Etchemins and Rivière-du-Loup, they will tell me that has nothing to do with it. The situation simply tears a member apart. Montmagny and Rivière-du-Loup are two different realities. It gets a little abstract. There is really a disconnect between the citizen, the member and the government he or she represents. I very much appreciate your comments and I thank you for them. I encourage the commission members to uphold the decision they made in September.
