It would go a long way toward stopping the federal government from treating northern Ontario like a second-class citizen and instead treat us like a colony. The provincial and federal government have to get beyond that and give us the resources and support we need to live up to our potential.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"2326794\" data-originallang=\"en\">The member will know that I consulted widely on this bill at one time. One question I was asked was how we defined northern Ontario. The only difference in the bill I championed a couple of years ago and my colleague's bill is the definition. My bill suggested that northern Ontario start and end at the French River and the Mattawa River. My colleague has chosen to include Parry Sound\u2014Muskoka in the catchment area as the areas that would be affected by the bill if it goes forward.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"2326795\" data-originallang=\"en\">Why did my colleague make that decision?</p>",
