It's important that Canada Post maintain the infrastructure because that infrastructure is what gives it an advantage in distributing materials across the country. The minute that infrastructure is dismantled, the opportunity is gone and it will never come back again.
I think a lot of opportunities have been missed. I don't think that Canada Post needs to make a profit. You talk about it losing a billion dollars by 2026. That's speculation, absolute speculation. We can't accept that as the figure we're working with today. What we have to look at is how we can prevent that figure from coming about.
What business could Canada Post pick up? It is a service, but it is also a business because it's taking money to provide that service. That's where the expansion has to come, in my mind. You don't cut out the service. In bad times businesses don't stop advertising; that puts them out of business immediately. In bad times you don't withdraw all your services. You're no longer in business. It has to be expanded. We can't be playing Chicken Little, and the sky is falling. Let's find a way to resolve this. Let's find a way to keep this because it is an important service. I don't think I've answered your question.
