J’étais à la recherche d’une meilleure solution, car je savais que les changements proposés ne convenaient pas à l’alignement de la circonscription, et parce qu’il m’avait indiqué qu’il souhaitait garder St. Joseph Island étant donné que son témoin venait de là.
So I indicated I did attempt to be there. I did speak to Mr. Hayes prior to going to North Bay, looking at a better solution because I knew that the changes that were being proposed did not align properly with the riding, and he indicated that he wanted to keep St. Joseph Island because his best man was from there.
