It's not a question of service. Service is not being reduced. The fact is that service in Quebec City is now the best in the country. Mail is delivered there on time in 98 per cent of cases. So, no one can say there have been any cuts in service. Nor have there been any job losses. This is an operational matter.
With all due respect, Mr. Bonin, I'd say that decisions on operational matters must be made by people with expertise in local operations. They are the ones that made this decision, because they know how to change the mail handling process to ensure better service.
As regards Quebec City, I would remind all Committee members that our future expenditures in Quebec City will amount to $90 million annually.
