Thank you, Chair.
Thank you very much for coming. It's nice to see someone from the chamber again. We heard from the Sydney chamber yesterday. I'm a former chamber guy, from the Calgary Chamber of Commerce. It's always nice to see business people as well coming in to present to the committee.
As my colleague mentioned, one of the reasons we're here is that there will be a $700-million shortfall by 2026. There are only two ways to deal with this. We find areas for savings, cuts, reductions, or we find ways for Canada Post to earn new revenue and hopefully turn a profit that goes toward the bottom line.
First, you all mentioned that it's a public service and that you're quite proud of it. You like the service you're receiving so far. Would you agree to paying higher corporate taxes to finance the subsidy to Canada Post in the interim until it's sustainable?
