If I heard correctly the southwest portion of the constituency will be lost or will be added. There may be some confusion as to the economic and social benefits if this were to happen.</p>\n<p>The southern part of Okanagan Centre is being taken out of the constituency and put into the Penticton riding or the Similkameen riding. That will not benefit that particular community because people naturally go to Cologne to do their shopping and so on.</p>\n<p>Could the hon. member for Edmonton-Strathcona detail exactly what is happening in his constituency with regard to the new boundaries?</p>",
