Thank you all for being here. I don't even know where to begin, because you've given us so much information.
For the record, the reason we are here is that during the election, we heard overwhelmingly that Canada Post had not consulted, and that is where the biggest problem comes in. They say they consulted; who they consulted, I don't know. When they came before us, and the task force came before us....
The first thing about change management, if they want to bring any change, is to consult the stakeholders. Therefore, if they come up with a solution, Mr. Perez, like you say, of putting community mailboxes in a very densely populated area, we are here to ensure that this type of mistake doesn't happen.
My question is going to be for everyone: financial stability or sustainability of Canada Post? They claim they are not going to be sustainable.
Mr. Lapointe, you have said they changed to a different accounting system. I am an accountant, so I'll tell you there's an international system that everybody has to follow, because then there is the right way to project your statements. If that change had taken place, and you claimed that there is $400 million they had not shown—again, you talked about the report of the Conference Board—how did Ernst & Young miss it when it was doing its review, because the task force relied on Ernst & Young? If you could answer that question, I'll go to the next.
