Mr. Speaker, I thank my colleague for his question.
A community of interests is a community that can be defined by geographical boundaries and also by its identity. Quebec is one example, but there is also Prince Edward Island, Newfoundland and the Prairies, where the people have distinct identities. Communities of interests help clearly identify a population and its democratic weight. These communities make up a very diverse country.
To have a diverse country, we must ensure that these distinct and different communities participate in democracy and in the legislative exercise in this House.
