Thank you, Mr. Chair, and good morning, colleagues.
I'm going to start with just a couple of statements related to name changes and then go to some questions, if there's time, on populations and the impacts on surrounding districts through the proposals that you're making today.
I want to start with Mr. Van Popta, neighbour of my riding, as well as Ms. Findlay. The name change you put forward I fully support. As you noted, Langley township now has part of Surrey in it, and it would be a complete misrepresentation to not have that reflected. Just for the record, I fully support what you indicated for the proposed name change.
I would also point out to the committee that I opted to not do an in-person presentation. I put forward a name change as well, so I would hope that you had a chance to look at that and consider a name change that is fairly benign. I just wanted to get a little plug in there for Cloverdale—Langley City—Sullivan Heights as perhaps the new name for my riding.
Ms. Zarrillo, I was intrigued by your comment about the name for the proposed New Westminster—Burnaby—Maillardville and the very interesting history you pointed out in the spirit of reconciliation. Do you have any thoughts on what that...? I guess if the community is actually kept intact, then it may not need to be represented, and the name is not what you'd be saying. Would you be suggesting that the New Westminster—Burnaby riding would simply be New Westminster—Burnaby?
That's for either one of you, Mr. Julian or Ms. Zarrillo, if you'd like to give us some context on how we could get rid of the reference to Maillardville.
