I believe that it makes much more sense for the region north of 401 to be part of the Kingston and the Islands federal riding than to be added to the proposed riding of Gananoque-Brockville-Prescott. I cite and strongly support the four arguments that were in the message sent originally to me by our Member of Parliament. That is:

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.
