Thank you very much.
I think the commission answered their own question. In my opening remarks, I stated that they created special circumstances and allowed half of northern Ontario to exceed the 25% variance. They acknowledged the challenges, but in doing that, they made the rest of northern Ontario have those challenges, an excess of those challenges.
I pointed to a MP who said that to drive the Thunder Bay circuit and back would be 1,000 kilometres. Well, by creating the Sault Ste. Marie—Algoma riding, it's 1,300 kilometres. It's flawed. I say to them to apply the special circumstance to all of northern Ontario, not half of it.
