Again, the department has undertaken a number of activities, including—as I mentioned before—speaking with other departments and agencies in terms of whether there may be opportunities for synergies of activities between Canada Post and other federal organizations, as well as encouraging Canada Post to look at alternative activities when it comes to maintaining financial viability.
As was noted by Canada Post representatives when they appeared, their primary raison d'être is to be able to deliver letter mail. Letter mail has been in decline since 2006, with fairly important and significant reductions in letter mail as Canadians send increasingly fewer letters. As was noted, they are putting more of a focus on the parcel delivery side, for obvious reasons, because that is seen as a bit of a growing market.
We've been working with Canada Post to try to provide some ideas or suggestions and work with them in terms of a potential way forward.
