We do agree it's a balancing act. We have to balance the entitlement of rural residents to home delivery, quality public postal service, and good delivery and good service with the right of our members, under the law, to have a healthy and safe workplace. Workers have that right under the law in this country. It is a balance that needs to be found. I'm telling this committee that my union is committed to finding solutions with Canada Post that continue to provide home delivery to rural communities and continue to respect the health and safety of our members.
We will never be able to eliminate every risk or every potential risk from every job. There are always going to be traffic accidents; there are always going to be weather conditions. What we need to do is work with Canada Post to make those routes absolutely as safe as they can be made, and absolutely minimize the threat of any danger to our members, as we do with the urban group.
