Mr. Speaker, I have a petition signed by many residents of St. Mary's Bay, Riverhead and Colliers.
The petitioners call upon the government not to end the moratorium on closing post offices. There are rumours circulating that these offices will close. These post offices are essential services. They play a key role and it is also the economic life of rural Canada.
The petitioners pray that the government maintain the moratorium on the closing of post offices and withdraw legislation to legalize remailers.
