Thank you so much.
I agree this committee has an opportunity to make a recommendation—to study this issue further and make changes so it doesn't happen again.
However, right now, the commission has the ability to continue its consultation. I want to say that we're not here to fight the commission. It's a big task and we appreciate the work it does, not only in Ontario but across the country. It has a big job to do.
However, in the spirit of consultation and proper democracy, we're asking the commission to use its legislative authority to continue consulting—to go out there and consult on these final maps. Let people in Don Valley East, Scarborough—Guildwood and Scarborough Centre have just one official opportunity to have their say, so their voice is not muted and disregarded, and so democracy will prevail. I'm not recommending that you.... I haven't said, “Make sure Don Valley stays exactly the same.” I'm saying, “Allow people to be part of that process and let them have a say.”
Thank you so much.
