Let me just say quickly that I'm not advocating privatization. I don't necessarily think we're at that stage in the game to consider it. Certainly, I am advocating that Canada Post take on the private delivery people and try to gain back the market share. I also think it should be looking at other kinds of partnerships that it can bring value to as it goes forward.
Ladies and gentlemen, you do have an alternative strategy here. Again, using quick math, if you have 17 million households and each household paid a $100-a-year Canada Post tax, you'd have $1.7 billion. I've witnessed from afar how people reacted to carbon taxes. I have a feeling that Canada Post taxes wouldn't be loved any better, but that is an alternative. In the United States, they have done that to some extent. They've dipped into their own treasury to fund the U.S. postal service.
I would like to encourage management to do it on their own. Give them the best chance before we say that we should dip into our pockets and pay.
