Thank you.
I'd like to remind everyone that the purpose of the House of Commons Standing Committee on Procedure and House Affairs is to compile information from your surroundings. That said, we can always hope there will be redefinitions. As I say at every meeting, if you have supporting documents pertaining to the initial consultation, it's important to attach them to the report.
Since I still have a bit of time left, I'd like to talk about the criteria for electoral redistribution, which are at the heart of the matter. If we grant very high priority to the electoral quota, we dismiss communities. The same applies to demographic shifts.
I'm focusing a lot on you, Mrs. Lalonde, but I can tell you about a similar situation in the riding of Blainville-Mirabel. People wondered why a very agricultural area and an urban area would be split up, even though they have a feeling of belonging.
Ms. Sahota, since you also sit on the Standing Committee of Procedure and House Affairs, I ask you to make your voice heard and help us reflect on our criteria, not just the steps to go through, and avoid having this happen again in 10 years.
