I'll just comment that we want to find better consensus with how we distribute power within the House of Commons. I really do strongly believe that, moving forward in 10 years' time, we're going to have to look at what we've been doing with this bill.
I strongly believe that, to find equality within our federation, provinces should not be structurally under-represented at the expense of others, either in the Senate or in the House of Commons. Coming from a part of the country where we only have six Senate seats and we are under-represented in the House of Commons, I have a duty as a legislator to raise that point time and time again.
Where is economic growth going in Canada? It's going to British Columbia because of the economic growth in Asia. Our ports are strategic for the entire country, but British Columbia doesn't have the ability to stand and fight for itself. We have all of these senators making decisions for our province who have no connection to the beauty and splendour of my riding where the two railways meet, for example.
I'll leave it at that, Madam Chair.
