Again, thank you.
I want to come back to the people who really feel the consequences of the problem that we're facing here.
When mail slows down or stops, rural Canadians are hit the hardest. Many rely on prescription deliveries, government documents, benefit cheques and essential goods that simply cannot be accessed any other way. In some communities, the post office isn't just a building. It's like the centre of life, and it's where seniors stay connected, small businesses ship their products, and families keep traditions alive through birthday cards and Christmas presents. I'm left wondering how we let it get this far.
I mean, the warnings were not subtle. The Kaplan report laid out exactly why keeping Canada Post afloat without structural changes would be nearly impossible, yet the Liberal government shackled you until the corporation was effectively insolvent. Now you've had $5.5 billion in losses. How have you been financing that? Did you have it in the kitty, or who are you borrowing that from?
