There are a number of points to address.
It is true that Canada Post Corporation is part of my portfolio. Nonetheless, I am not responsible for the day-to-day operations of Canada Post or its operational decisions. I set the broad directions and in September I issued a change in direction for Canada Post by saying that, from now on, the corporation would no longer be subject to the moratoriums that have been in place for decades and that prevent it from making the necessary changes to avoid losses. Those losses have been in the order of $6 billion since 2018. We also want to avoid the need for repeated cash injections from the federal government just to keep the lights on at Canada Post.
What I told the corporation was, first, that the moratorium on the closure of rural post offices was being lifted and, second, that the moratorium on the installation of community mailboxes was being lifted, among other things. That's what Canada Post has started doing.
