Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Mr. Cusson, thank you for being here with us today. I am always very happy to return to Quebec City, where I spent my early years.
Without further ado, I am going to use the seven minutes allotted to me to ask you some questions. I ask you to give me relatively short answers.
Mr. Cusson, you represent the Union des municipalités du Quebec. You are asking in particular that Quebec municipalities take part in the decision-making process on the introduction of and any changes to services that Canada Post may offer the population.
This new UMQ resolution comes in response to a decision that Canada Post made without consulting you. That is what I understand from having experienced the same thing. If you had been consulted, might the solutions and changes made have been appreciably the same, with some minor variations? The consultation might have helped explain the reasons for certain developments.
