Thank you very much, Mr. Chair, for welcoming me to this committee.
Mr. Jones, my questions are also going to be for you.
As I was listening to you speak, I was hearing echoes to some degree of life in my riding. I often tease my colleagues that they have planes, trains and automobiles, but we add seaplanes, ferries and helicopters to get here. Nanaimo, where I live, is actually the largest city on Vancouver Island, at just over 100,000 people, and people are surprised that I often cannot take a cellphone call in my driveway and frequently have to pull over to the side of the road in order to finish conversations with people.
I see my colleague Madame Gill nodding.
I want to give you an opportunity. If you had an urban federal MP visiting and they spent three days in your area and saw everything you wanted them to see, what do you think would surprise them the most?
