Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Good afternoon, Ms. Fortin and Mr. Pitre.
First of all, Ms. Fortin, your testimony gives us a clear indication of the efforts you want to make. However, the problem has remained intact and that's why we're here today. We're wondering about the losses that Canada Post reports quarter after quarter, especially in the third quarter of 2021.
I'm going to ask you a question that stems from a request Prime Minister Trudeau made to the Minister of Public Services and Procurement, Ms. Tassi. In the latter's mandate letter, he asks her in particular to "[e]nsure that Canada Post provides the high-quality service that Canadians expect at a reasonable price and better reaches Canadians in rural and remote areas."
Is it currently possible to maintain a reasonable price and provide high quality service to Canadians given the results observed from quarter to quarter?
