It was interesting, because when we talk about the uncertain financial picture of Canada Post...we had a professor who did a whole review of it. She said that the Ernst & Young report said the projection is $63 million in deficit, yet in the first quarter it has made $45 million in profit, which is a $108-million turnaround.
With the discrepancy between people, the union doesn't buy the figures. We haven't sat down and looked at the figures. The bottom line is that those are Canada Post's figures. When it comes to sustainability, there's a whole division as to whether Canada Post is sustainable or not. There's also $650 million in corporate executive salaries. We have to balance the whole thing.
The professor also made an interesting comment. She that Canada Post management lacks imagination. It cannot think outside the box. The only thing it thinks to do is cut labour costs.
You were with the Chamber of Commerce. You have a lot of creative, innovative businesses. What are some of the innovative solutions that balance Canada Post as a business and as a service?
