One thing I'd like to say is that our community elects us to carry their concerns to Ottawa. Being in Ottawa all the time, you hear very little news about what happens elsewhere, especially in B.C., or any of the outer areas from the centre of Canada. It's usually just about Ontario and Quebec. I'm sorry to say that, but that's the way it seems.
Out here we hear about everything across Canada, because we're way out here. They do it on the east coast, too. If we're not in our communities listening to the people who elected us, we're not doing our jobs.
I have just one other thing to say, please. MPs spend usually three weeks in Ottawa and one week at home. We should reverse that to one week in Ottawa and three at home.
Thank you.
