I spoke to Mr. Boulerice two or three times about the challenges and what I was going to propose, and I believe we were on the same wavelength. That being said, we did not talk about the fact that I was prepared to accept the changes proposed by the commission with regard to the Old Port. The purpose of those changes is to try to meet the established standards.
As for my other colleagues, I know that Mr. Garneau signed my letter of support regarding Saint-Henri. I do not necessarily want to speak on behalf of my other colleagues with regard to the redistribution, but I can say this.
I believe that Mr. Guilbeault would be willing to serve the people of the Old Port and Old Montreal in his riding, and I'm sure he would do a really good job.
However, you are right. The MPs who represent the ridings of Montreal and its boroughs and suburbs have not met to discuss a master plan for Montreal. We came to advocate on behalf of our constituents, and that is why I am here today.
I think the highlights are fairly clear. I do not know whether Mr. Boulerice wanted to take over the part of my riding that is going to be taken away from me against my volition. If he wants to leave everything in Ville‑Marie—Le Sud‑Ouest—Île‑des‑Sœurs, then that is okay because I like everyone. The reality, though, is that we need to do something.
