That is unfortunate, but I will go even further. There is literally a disinformation campaign going on among the orders of government with regard to both employees and the public. Canada Post commissioned a study. I honestly believe it is a bogus study, given the figures and forecasts it contains.
2011 was really an unusual year in view of the fact that we are talking about the pay equity file and a single payment to the pension plan. These people expected losses, but there was $900 million in profits over those five years, with the exception of 2011. All those figures are being put forward to explain cuts that are not financially justifiable. This amounts to manipulation.
2013 is another example. Accounting methods were replaced by international accounting standard IAS 19, but they failed to point out that otherwise there would have been hundreds of millions of dollars in profits. Data is constantly being used to justify cuts rather than to opt for new services.
