Mr. Speaker, I commend the hon. member for Montcalm on his speech. His riding neighbours mine.

I want to come back to the issue of rural regions. We both represent large rural ridings. When it comes to electoral reform, I am always worried that electoral boundaries will be made between urban and rural regions.

Could my colleague from Montcalm say a few words about that?

Monsieur le Président, je félicite le député de Montcalm, le comté voisin du mien, pour son discours.

J'aimerais revenir sur la question des régions. Nos comtés sont tous les deux de grands comtés situés en région. Lorsqu'il est question de réforme électorale, j'ai toujours peur qu'on crée des divisions entre les régions urbaines et les régions rurales.

Mon collègue de Montcalm pourrait-il en parler?
