Thank you, Madam Chair.
I had finished speaking, until I heard the comment that provinces are starting a process and making adjustments based on all the criteria that we know. To me, this is a signal to follow the trend. There are probably good reasons for that.
I understand that we are at the last stage. However, I am hammering home the message that I want to see the recommendations and the documents that you are submitting considered, as a step is clearly missing. You are not the first to tell us this. For several meetings now, we have been told that nothing was said and that we then found ourselves faced with something completely different. There is a little bit missing. We need more information and discussion.
In addition to everything we already have and all the things you've brought up, if you're missing information, there's still time to add it to your submission. You are not alone in this. It can be as much in British Columbia as in Quebec. Something has to happen. Just because the number of ridings has been decided, that does not mean that the status quo should be kept on this. Personally, I still have hope.
You can speak to that.
