Thank you, Mr. Chair.
I want to welcome all of you. A warm welcome also to the people who are with you.
I simply would like to say to you, and it is important to remind everyone of this, that you were the ones responsible for the successes at Canada Post.
I represent a riding that is both rural and urban, and people are satisfied with the service Canada Post provides. I almost never hear complaints at my riding office about Canada Post. People are satisfied with the service they receive. And my riding is quite large.
I realized something when I read the report, and I want to share it with you because I was really surprised. There is a mailbox near my home. For those who live in rural areas, it's at the back of a concession lot. I realized that every Canadian man and woman receives different service from Canada Post, but according to the study, people are satisfied. That's a very positive factor.
I enjoyed one point particularly among all of the comments, one made by Mr. Dubois, perhaps because it was in French and that's easier for me. You said that you did not know, first of all, that there was a problem. You said that it was hard to be part of the solution when you didn't know there was a problem.
In the report, I was struck by one paragraph, on governance. On page 10, there is a passage that reads as follows: “Based on the comprehensive input to the Task Force, this realignment should be undertaken with appropriate consultation and an eventual change of governance.”
I would like to hear your opinion on this, as well as that of any other representative who would like to speak.
With regard to the governance structure, how is the interaction between Canada Post and its workforce?
