Mr. Speaker, I appreciate the opportunity to ask my colleague a question.
The member comes from a rural community similar to mine in many respects. My constituents have never come up to me and said that they believe that they should be forced to fund my political party or any other political parties.
In fact, coming from a rural area, the things my constituents talk to me about are more support for nurses and doctors coming to rural and underserved communities, support for our volunteer firefighters and support for our senior citizens who are having a difficult time making ends meet. These are the priorities of my constituents.
I wonder if the hon. member heard similar pleas from her constituents when she was campaigning.
