The Island of Montreal has several electoral districts, but only one that has seen a significant population increase that would justify making certain changes. However, the proposed redistribution also has an impact on Outremont and Laurier—Sainte‑Marie, when these ridings should not be affected at this point. The impact is just too great and not commensurate with the demographic changes.
I don't think it's my place to take a map and draw boundaries, but what we are saying is that the consequences or the perverse effects of this redistribution are too significant for us to ignore. People don't want this change. They are worried. They have come to us and they have said it to all levels of government. That's why we are here today to say that this redistribution must be redone, because it just doesn't make sense.
