I would like to come back to the number of jobs. Of course, we will be able to see that from the models requested by Mr. Mulcair. You say that if the bill is not enacted, the private sector could lose thousands of jobs. I am trying to understand. That means that $40 million would be generated by thousands of jobs. I am thinking that the $40 million does not represent just the revenue that would be in question. Clearly with thousands of jobs, a lot more work and revenue is generated than $40 million. I am trying to understand this threat. We are told that if, for example, the Liberal Party voted largely with us against Bill C-9, and it didn't pass, the private sector would lose thousands of jobs. I don't see how thousands of jobs could be lost solely because of $40 million.
If you are right, that means there would be the opposite effect on the Canada Post Corporation. Plainly, remailing is not going to double overnight. If the Canada Post Corporation continues to do it exclusively, with its employees, without adding any, thousands of jobs will be lost.
On the other hand, you say that if the private sector enters this market, thousands of jobs will be preserved. The Canada Post Corporation will not eliminate jobs. This means there is some inefficiency somewhere. I am trying to understand.
