That might be a good solution to consider. As I mentioned, Canada Post is often the last representative of public services in the rural regions. I have also heard about banking services. I can personally attest that that service could really be promising. In my region, for example, the caisse populaire was closed, leaving three municipalities without banking services. Some residents now have to travel 25 kilometers to conduct their transactions at the nearest ATM. It would be a good idea for the post offices to offer a range of services in the rural regions.
