Thank you, Mr. Chair.
My thanks to the witnesses for coming to see us today for this important exercise of mutual information sharing.
My question is quite a basic one and you have actually alluded to it briefly. In your opinion, is Canada Post two businesses?
You are representing the commercial side today but, at the same time, the survey deals with the residential side. The commercial side never does anything that does not affect the residential sector, unless you are telling me that you do business only with other companies. Residential customers always buy products from other companies.
I would like to hear your opinion about whether there are two businesses inside Canada Post. When we go to major urban centres, we hear about quite significant differences. We have come from Montreal where clearly the reality is quite different from the North Shore and from other suburbs. I am talking about companies and about being close to the border, but also about new residential developments where community mailboxes are installed from the outset.
I would like to have your perspective. I have raised a number of points. I don’t know who wants to start an answer.
