I'd like to thank all of our panellists, our witnesses, for appearing here today.
Mr. O'Reilly, I have just an off-the-cuff comment on your observation that perhaps Canada Post would be better served if it had union representation on the board. I recall one of the best books I've ever read in my life. It was Lee Iacocca's first book, and he pointed out that when he came from Ford to Chrysler, Chrysler was hemorrhaging money.
One of the first things he did was to open up all the books to the union personnel so they could see exactly how much money the company was losing. His second move was to appoint the president of the local union to the board so that, collectively and collaboratively, they could work out a way to bring the Chrysler Corporation back to financial stability, which they did.
It was a fascinating approach. I think it was one of the few times that we've seen very effective labour-management collaboration in a corporation of that size, so I appreciate your comments.
To all of you, thank you very much for being here. Should you have additional information you wish to provide to the committee that would assist us in our deliberations, we ask you to do so. You can contact our clerk directly and make those submissions directly.
Since we will be tabling our final report probably in the latter part of November, we ask that you get any additional information to our clerk within the next 10 days to two weeks if you could.
Once, again, thank you so very much. We appreciate your testimony. We will suspend for a few moments while our next witnesses come forward.
