Thank you.
I have a quick question about my constituency, because I know I'm running out of time in this round.
I heard a lot—and again, I am a new candidate—about a couple of locations: Hobbs Manor, which is a seniors' residence in Brandon, and La Rivière in Cypress River. These are two communities that have had polling stations in them for time immemorial. Nobody can remember an election when they didn't have a federal polling station. Neither of those places had one this time.
Has the population threshold to have a polling location changed as part of this election? Why would these long-standing communities that have always had a polling location not have one?
Particularly in the two rural towns, it's a severe impact, because there is no public transit available in these communities to get to the next community for residents to be able to vote, etc., so it was a significant barrier for all of those locations.
