Government is all about making choices.
Mr. Whelan, when you say that we've kept our promise, in bold letters on page 34 it says that we will save home mail delivery. We had home mail delivery on election day and now we don't. To say that maintaining that status quo would allow us to say with a straight face that we've kept our promise, I beg to differ. In terms of the dollar trade-offs, Canada Post is a crown corporation, but it's there to provide a public service, a public service that is near and dear. Our election commitment was for home mail delivery.
Will there be trade-offs? Of course there will be trade-offs; that's all part of governing.
