Thank you.
In the last 10 years—those are the time frames we're working with—all of the development in Nanaimo has gone north, not south. Again, that's another reason why it makes sense for Lantzville to be included there. That is no doubt as to why the mayor of Lantzville is saying, “We rely on Nanaimo for all its services, even water, sewer, and all the infrastructure. We work together.” That's just the way the growth has been. It has not been south; it's been north.
Ladysmith is south of Nanaimo, so it makes sense to incorporate that smaller community and draw the line there, but in my view, it does not make sense to put Lantzville into a riding further north.
