Thank you, Chair.
I want to take Mr. Smith back to paragraph 8.53 on page 13. My friend across the way, Mr. Woodworth, talked about the subdivisions and quite accurately pointed out the definition of such. But inside this paragraph, the Auditor General has indicated that some were “sparsely populated”.
I don't want to read into that, so I may have to ask Mr. Ferguson what he means when he says “sparsely”. I don't think he means zero. I would presume that there are people there, if you say “sparsely populated”.
Would that be correct, Mr. Ferguson?
