Scott Bates

The area north of the 401 should be brought back into the Kingston and the Islands federal riding boundary, not included in the proposed riding of Gananoque-Brockville-Prescott.

I feel that this particular area does not fit into the proposed riding of Gananoque-Brockville-Prescott and that it should be included back into Kingston and the Islands for the following reasons:

1. That the area shares police and fire services with Kingston.
2. That the areas social, cultural, and economic activity all centers around Kingston (not Gananoque, Brockville, or Prescott).
3. That the area pays property taxes to the City of Kingston (not Gananoque, Brockville, or Prescott).
4. That the average distance to the constituency office would be 10 km in Kingston versus 90 km in Brockville.

Sincerely,

Scott Bates
