Thank you, Mr. Chair.
I will be speaking to you, Mr. Lapointe.
I was pleased to hear you discuss the possibility of extending business hours, even on Saturdays, so you could make direct contact with consumers.
People my age who work leave home at 7:00 a.m. and return at 6:00 p.m. I live in a rural area and the post office's business hours are from 9:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. Unless we are at home on sick leave once or twice a year, we do not have a lot of opportunity to go to the post office and do our business. Canada Post has missed a lot of opportunities to provide services. People have opted for other services.
You said that extending business hours would help sharply increase Canada Post's profitability. Can you give us a percentage?
