Thank you, Chair.
Thank you to all of our witnesses for being here today.
By way of background—the rest of the committee knows this—just so you know, as the lead for the Conservatives on the redistribution effort, I did sit through nearly every one of the almost 40 public hearings listening to all the testimony and reading through what people have written.
As an opener, I would say that in general I think the commission did a good job of listening to the many people who attended the public hearings and of redrawing the maps, but let's start with Mr. Shipley.
With respect to name changes, we did see a flexibility on the part of the commission to allow name changes. Penetanguishene was greatly objected to, for example, and they were allowed to go back to Simcoe North and Simcoe South. South Huron Shores was another one that was objected to and was changed.
I don't imagine that there will be huge differences, but as I understand it, you and the MP in the riding below you, which was Barrie—Innisfil, wanted to correct the confusion people were having about which office they should go to. That's why originally you wanted “South Barrie” and “North Barrie”, with all the rest of the places on the names, but because of the French syntax they had to reverse them, and now it's confusing. Is that correct?
