First, I would like to tell you that, according to Statistics Canada—we are not the ones saying this—one in three Canadians suffers from limitations. Not all those limitations are serious, but when it is -20 degrees celsius and the ground is covered with ice, that 33% represents a lot of people. This is not a trivial matter. This is not unimportant. I think we have to make arrangements in this case.
With regard to this medical certificate, we feel as though we always have to "bare all" before an official in order to obtain a postal service. It looks very complicated. Some people are quite independent, but things are different when they find themselves in aggravating circumstances. This is what we call "creating disability situations." I think that having to go and pick up one's mail from a mailbox may potentially be very dangerous for seniors in particular. So there will be consequences if we all have to go and see our doctor and get a medical certificate. There are costs associated with that; there are citizens who pay for that. There is also the problem of waiting lists in order to meet a physician.
