Mr. Speaker, the Reform Party member who just spoke about the Senate expressed very interesting views. His determination to stand up for the regions was one aspect of his speech that I found particularly striking.
I have here the list of Quebec senators with their mailing address. At the moment, Quebec is lucky enough to have 21 senators. Being myself a representative of a large riding far from the big urban centres, I insist on the rights of regions. If really the Senate is that important, our regions-Abitibi-Témiscamingue, the North Shore, the Gaspe Peninsula-should also have a senator to represent them adequately. According to this list, of these 21 senators, 13 are from the Montreal area. There is one whose address is Laval-sur-le-Lac. I wonder if he would not also be from the Montreal area.
