That's a very good question. As you are no doubt aware, I have also seen these articles. I also know that the president of Canada Post will appear before the Standing Committee on Transport, Infrastructure and Communities tomorrow.
In my view, while I'm not responsible for Canada Post activities, I'm the minister responsible, and I expect corporation to act in a manner consistent with the highest integrity, quality and security standards, in its procurement process and selection of suppliers, just as the government expects all Crown corporations to act.
Canada Post has told us that it has not used subcontractors or trucking businesses that use the Driver Inc. model. Perhaps Canada Post's president will provide the necessary information when he appears tomorrow, but based on the information given to me, the corporation has not done any business with these types of businesses. This is consistent with what I expect from the corporation.
Since we're speaking to the Budget Implementation Act, I would point out that the budget has $67 million over four years to help the Canada Revenue Agency acquire the necessary tools to identify these businesses and to crack down on the ones that deserve to be punished.
