I may be mistaken, but I understood at the commission's hearings that no one wanted to add other electoral districts to Montreal and that people wanted the status quo. I was even contacted by an assistant from your party, who told me that your party shared the view that no members should be added to Montreal because there were enough and that it wanted the situation to stay that way. I may have missed something, but I understood that no one wanted to add more members to Montreal and that people wanted to maintain the status quo. Now I see that there are no additions to Montreal. Why overturn all that?
When I look at all that, I am quite willing to believe my colleague when he says that, in his opinion, there has been no outcry in Ahuntsic. That perhaps is what he hears in Cartierville and Saint-Laurent. It should not be forgotten, however, that the federal electoral district of Ahuntsic includes part of Bordeaux and that this has not caused a reaction by the population there. Bordeaux is used to being attached to Ahuntsic and Saint-Laurent. It is another community of life.
However, it has caused enormous reaction among the citizens and local elected representatives of Ahuntsic ward.
