Thank you very much, Madam Chair.
I would like to thank all the members who came here. I am very sensitive to their situation. It boggles my mind that the commission wants to reduce the number of ridings in their area, given the size of their ridings.
It is odd, Mr. Angus, I thought one of the ridings adjacent to mine was huge, being larger than Belgium, but it is nothing compared to yours, since you said it was bigger than France.
I have two questions for you.
First, are you unanimous in wanting to return to the status quo?
Second, what is the real impact on the francophone communities in your respective constituencies?
