I would hope we would agree on that.
Again, though, both Penticton and the Penticton Indian Band did ask the commission to make the change to keep Penticton whole and to keep Penticton Indian Band as part of your riding. That has been seen there.
Again, this is a very challenging job, but I wanted to make sure the point was made that Similkameen wants to keep its name there.
I'll go to Mr. Weiler.
Mr. Weiler, I appreciate that we're all elected officials here. You have said that you're unhappy with the current process, as well as the.... You've made an alternate proposal, but it says very clearly in the report by the commission that it did have.... Outlined on page 17 of the commission's report, a public hearing was held in West Vancouver. The report says, “Many presentations and submissions urged the Commission to maintain the present boundaries of West Vancouver—Sunshine Coast—Sea to Sky Country.”
Again, you run into the fact that the population of this existing electoral district is higher than the provincial quota.
It does say on page 17 that “Aware of the concerns expressed, the Commission concludes that decreasing the population of the district is necessary, and it views dividing West Vancouver as the most advantageous decision, given the limitations of the physical geography and the population distribution of the area.” So, they have heard it.
On page 36 of their conclusion, it says they have considered every single submission, and this is what they've come down with.
Why do you think that your proposal is viable given that they have said that they've looked at it and it was found to be wanting, considering the population growth they have to deal with?
