First, I would like to thank all of the unions for coming to present to us today. We know it's tight on the heels of the task force report. Most of your presentations will be coming to us in a written form.
I would like to suggest to the room and to the committee that, given the compressed timeframe today and the votes, we attempt to schedule another three-hour session involving the Canada Post Corporation itself; dedicate a second hour to the Canadian Union of Postal Workers; and then, to make sure we hear from the other unions on their own as well, dedicate a third hour to the other unions we have here today.
My question, then, to the unions is this. When we return from our road tour over the next four or five weeks, depending on what happens with our scheduling, would you be prepared to come back and meet us at that time, but attempt to get the written submissions in as soon as possible so we have an opportunity to digest them, discuss those ideas presented with Canadians across the country, and then pose further questions to you on those more detailed analyses?
