Thank you for that question.
Because I'm not proposing any change to the actual boundary—I think the commissioners did a good job working to ensure that New Brunswick's three cities are roughly the same size, in terms of representation, and similarly that the rural ridings are, broadly speaking, equitable—the most I can say to your question, because I've not done broad consultation on the name change, is that I have spoken to individual community leaders and there is broad agreement that New Brunswick Southwest has worked well and people know it, and for that reason there's really no sense in changing it.
As for the question around the Wolastoq and the renaming of the Saint John River, that is a debate that's centred in Fredericton among indigenous groups as well as academics, so it's not one on which I've spoken directly to anyone. However, my sense of the politics is that, because of the questions around renaming of the Saint John River to Wolastoq, this is a contentious issue. I'll put it that way. It's one the commission, I think, would be best to avoid.
If I may take another 30 seconds, I will just say that, as a fiscal conservative as well, I'd be loath to spend the thousands of dollars that would be required on the name change. As do many of you, I have signs on the exterior of my constituency office and signs throughout the riding that bear the name New Brunswick Southwest. I think it would be unfortunate if monies would have to be spent just because we are needlessly making a name change or choosing to go with Saint John—St. Croix, a name that is less representative and one that, if I'm not successful today, I would hopefully continue to try to get to be New Brunswick Southwest. It could be an unfortunate fiscal decision as well.
It's a minor point, I realize. It's not even a drop in the bucket of the federal government's budget, but it's one that I'm cognizant of.
