It's tough to guess what their motivation was. I think the massive change they made with northern Saskatchewan had an effect on the other ridings in the south, because of the massive disparity now...with what they've drawn in the northern map. I think they were trying to get awfully close to voter parity, after making such a monumental change and departure from long-established principles in the northern riding. I wish I could develop that thought at great length.
Honestly, when I saw the proposal, I was baffled. Giving Regina-Lewvan that little corner of Regina-Qu'Appelle.... I don't think anybody saw that coming. Nobody even discussed it at the hearings. Nobody would have thought it would even be on the table. I don't want to speculate on why they did it. I can tell you only that it caught everybody by surprise.
