Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Thank you for joining us.
I have seven minutes. In that amount of time, it is not always easy to ask questions and get complete answers. I am going to try to make my questions short and more direct, without too much preamble.
Different approaches are possible. Depending on the studies conducted or the vision used to reach a result, Canada Post can be seen as a service or as a commercial enterprise that provides a service using the user-pay principle. You can see it like that.
Would your study have produced a different vision or different recommendations if you had used a different philosophy or approach—an approach not strictly focused on the business aspects, the profitability, the lack of subsidies, the overall viability? Canada Post could instead have been seen as a service like health care, meaning that there are always costs, but there is no deficit because it is an essential service.
Would the approach substantially change the results?
