Alupa Clarke Conservative Beauport—Limoilou, QC

I just wanted to say that I strongly agree with my colleague Mr. Whalen, and I just want to thank him for what he just read to us. I think the conventions and the rights of the House of Commons should strongly be followed by any outside actors of society, and I don't like when there's arrogance toward this House of Commons.

So thank you very much, Nick.

The Chair Conservative Tom Lukiwski

Not that I'm defending Canada Post, because they certainly don't need me to defend them, but this is not arrogance, as I interpret it. It's just their rights and our rights, and both have to be observed.

Mr. Chair, who commissioned the report? Was it Canada Post or an independent party?

The Chair Conservative Tom Lukiwski

I don't know the answer to that, but we'll find out when we hear the report.

Liberal

Yasmin Ratansi Liberal Don Valley East, ON

If Canada Post hasn't commissioned it, then legally it's not Canada Post's report.

The Chair Conservative Tom Lukiwski

As I say, Madame Ratansi, I'm going to be examining all aspects of this.

The meeting is adjourned.
