Can I respond to that from the point of view of rural communities? And I mean real rural communities, villages, that have lost their schools, have lost their gas stations.
Some of them do have franchises. I have a home in Port Medway, Nova Scotia. We have a wonderful store where our mail is delivered. However, when those rural stores fail because of the big-box move and everyone drives to the city to get their groceries, then we'd be going to a community box. I think that's a very precarious solution.
I would support the very rural areas keeping their post offices, because when you go to a retail outlet, that retail outlet is not secure.
