Thank you, Madam Chair.
Thank you for joining us. It must be a different experience for you to testify before a committee.
I want to give you time to explain what you think may have been missing in the process or in the documentation that was provided. Earlier, it was mentioned that it was important to take the pulse of the community and get its support. I would like to know if you have everything you need to show that what you are proposing respects the wishes of the people and of the locally elected officials. This would ensure that there is some compliance in the report. We must be vigilant. It is the committee's role to be vigilant and to reflect what is happening on the ground. That is why public consultations are important. I understand that we can't be in two places at once, but we must demonstrate that we are well aware of the situation.
I would like to say to Mr. Baldinelli that I am familiar with Niagara Falls and Niagara-on-the-Lake. I see that it is a microclimate. I'd mention that Niagara Falls—Niagara-on-the-Lake is an appealing name, so I guess it's easier to explain to people the value of that change.
That said, I invite you to come and enjoy the special climate of Mont-Tremblant, which you may be familiar with and which is also an international hub for tourism.
If public opinion favours the name Niagara Falls—Niagara-on-the-Lake, why was the name Niagara North chosen instead?
