Mr. Chair, we are indeed at a crossroads, and we are not alone. Yesterday, the United States Postal Service released its quarterly results and announced a net loss of $2 billion. The U.S. Postal Service, whose revenue grew marginally, still reported a $2-billion U.S. net loss. That shows that the issue is not unique to Canada.
The issues of technology, the Internet, and online substitution are real and universal. We're seeing that in other postal administrations where the challenges are similar. But as I mentioned in my opening remarks, the solutions are very much unique to the countries, the people, the environment, the climate, and the geography. Every country has a unique set of circumstances, and is finding solutions that are unique to them.
We are indeed at a crossroads.
