Mr. Speaker, the hon. member who just spoke made a very important point we would do well to remember. Our country is very large and extends right up to the Arctic circle. A lot of southerners are crowded into the warmer belt at the bottom but there are very few northerners. However what is done with huge tracts of land in our country affects them.
Would the hon. member take the opportunity to tell us what we can do as members of Parliament who perhaps are not as sensitive as we ought to be to the concerns and to the perspective of northerners in our great country to communicate effectively with our constituents to make them more aware of this situation?
If we were to give them two, three or four basic facts, what would she recommend we try to communicate to our constituents? I would appreciate hearing that.
