I'm still very worried, because the competition is fierce.
This is my first time on the Standing Committee on Government Operations and Estimates, but for years, my predecessors have told me about all sorts of studies on the subject, and we're still talking about it.
Since September 25, conversation has dramatically increased. There's talk about reducing costs. Everyone agrees that Canada Post provides an essential service, so let's focus on how to deal with the competition. If Canada Post can't deliver a parcel to someone's home and they have to walk to pick it up or drive an hour to get it, they will turn to a competitor that can. I understand community mailboxes are not an hour away, but people want fast and efficient service.
How are we going to get there?
