The independent review panel provides an opportunity to look at innovative options. I think it is wonderful to be able to evaluate ideas from your constituents and other parts of the country. It is still important for the corporation—we are barely a break-even organization—to pay for itself. The Canada Post Corporation Act asks Canada Post to be self-sufficient.
The goal is to generate enough profit so that we can reinvest in new services. The member from Brampton East talked about our concept store. That is an investment in helping busy young mothers. Canadians are leading busy lives. Those funds allow us to reinvest in business, new technology, new vehicles, and new ideas. That remains the main objective, to be financially self-sufficient. Profits get reinvested in the business. For other options that may be even more interesting to Canadians, we look forward to working with the independent review panel. We look forward to working with the committee as you look at the final report from the independent review panel. We need a package that will allow us to remain financially self-sufficient and yet serve the changing needs of Canadians. Canadians have changed, and we are committed to making sure that we serve both their past and emerging needs.
