I'll take a first shot at that, if I can.
As I said in my remarks, the three changes that have been proposed are necessary but not sufficient. He has another 20 days to come back to tell you how he's going to move people to community mailboxes and, Mr. Boulerice, where they're going to be located. In my case, they're on municipal rights of way; they aren't rented spaces. He has 20 days to tell you how many people he's going to probably furlough or move to early retirement. He has 20 days to talk about some of these rural post offices, but that's still not enough.
I don't know if he can give you the second half of that. How do you, then, grow this business so you can get rid of that extra $1 billion? You should hold him accountable to that—that is why you have a CEO of the organization.
I think if he can get the last piece, which is this flexibility around the workforce, it is possible to win back, I think, some of this market share, but I have to warn you that I don't know if it will be enough. Again, frankly—you'll have to think about this—if he could reduce the deficit from $1.5 billion to just $500 million, and he says, “Look, I've done everything I can, but that's as low as I can get it,” is this group prepared to say, “Well, maybe we should think about subsidizing it again”? I don't know. He hasn't had the ability to have a free hand to tackle that, so let's give him that chance and see what he comes back with.
