I would say as little as possible. Canada Post's mission is basically to offer financially sustainable services. It's in its letters patent. However, it has become apparent over the years that Canada Post is unable to meet that goal. That is why the government had to inject $1 billion in the corporation and why it will need to inject more money over the coming years. I believe we need to inject as little as possible. Canada Post must find ways to significantly improve its efficiency in carrying out its essential mission. One way is to remove the constraints that I mentioned in my opening statement and that we've been talking about.
It's important to point out that Canadians and Quebeckers care about Canada Post, especially in remote areas like Îles de la Madeleine, as you said, because it's their only link to the rest of the world. Thank you for raising that point.
That said, everyone understands that bailing out Canada Post year after year means less money for other essential government services. I think that would also be a concern for Mr. Boulerice. Resources are limited. That's why I think Canada Post needs a transformation. There is a path to get there and that is the path we've asked the corporation to take.
