Mr. Chair, obviously, if I speak very quickly, it'll be difficult for the interpreters to do their job. When I'm true to myself and express myself in my mother tongue, I feel like there's not enough time. I know I've missed a lot of things in the discussion. What the witnesses have said seems very relevant, and I wouldn't want them to repeat themselves. I just need to point out that I feel discriminated against. There. I've said it.
What I take from your opening remarks is that, for the corporation to be profitable, it may need to be privatized. Now, you're referring to urban areas. Yes, Îles-de-la-Madeleine and other regions have been talked about, but Canada Post's competitors have no interest in mail delivery in those communities. I could even add my community of Mont-Laurier to that list.
There are 41 million people in Canada living at 17 million addresses. I wonder whether we want to go through the same thing as other countries that privatized an essential service. I'd like to hear your thoughts on that.
