I have no objections to the proposals regarding the boundaries. It is strictly the name of my riding that is problematic.
My riding is called Chambly, and this creates a great deal of confusion. I have been the member for Chambly for the past ten years, but the residents of the towns of Beloeil and Saint-Hilaire, important communities in my riding, still think I am the member for the next riding over.
My riding of Chambly includes two entire provincial ridings, the provincial riding of Chambly and the provincial riding of Borduas. Furthermore, the town of Chambly is located in the provincial riding of Chambly; this is a large town in my riding, but it is far from representing the majority of voters or the largest area within the riding.
Therefore, I suggest that my riding be renamed “Chambly-Borduas” so that people in the current Chambly riding who are a bit outside the Chambly town limits feel the name of their federal riding includes them. That is my suggestion. It is not a matter of life or death, but I think it is only right to recognize something for what it really is.
That is the only request I have for this committee. I am prepared to answer any questions.

That is incorrect. There is the town of Marieville—

On the provincial level, the town of Marieville is included in the Iberville riding, but this is very minor. There is also the town of Chambly, which is here, all around the Chambly Basin. It is a large town, but Beloeil and Saint-Hilaire are also very large towns; in fact, they are bigger than Chambly.

That is correct, and I see this whenever I meet people in my riding, as all the members here do. I am introduced as Mr. Lebel, the member for the neighbouring riding of Chambly, when it is really their own riding.

I do not remember exactly, but I believe I did. It was set out in the brief that I tabled and presented. However, my testimony dealt mainly with the redistribution. It was suggested that the town of Saint-Amable be added here, since it is located in this region, although there is no major highway. This part of Saint-Aimable was truly outside the current riding of Chambly. I asked that this change not be made, and my suggestion appears to have been heeded. Now, there is the name.

I do not know; I had focussed on the redistribution.

Last spring, I had already tabled a request to change the name.

Yes, but I think that, in the end, it was blocked in the Senate. I never heard anything more about it. So, my sole request to this committee concerns the name change, so that my constituents can see themselves reflected in the name.
The towns of Beloeil and Saint-Hilaire, which together are bigger than Chambly, are not included in the name of the riding.

Because, Mont-Saint-Hilaire is a town like Chambly.

Borduas is a provincial riding.
