On my overenthusiasm earlier on for the appropriately named Simms rule, which I just unilaterally invoked and extended its reach, I apologize to Mr. Bittle for that. My comment was really for Mr. Bittle. If I came across as being in any way intentionally disrespectful, then that was not my intention and I enjoy his interventions.
Finally, as someone who has spent time living close to Mr. Graham's riding in Saint-Jérôme—his riding is so freaking large there's not much that isn't in it—I think we disagree on the point but I appreciate his sincere sentiments.
