In a number of places in Canada, Canada Post uses Shoppers Drug Mart as a subcontractor. Where I live in Beauport, it happens to be a Familiprix.
A number of places where Canada Post subcontracts its services to Shoppers Drug Mart are in locations with the 5% of the population needed to get bilingual services. But, clearly, the employees at Shoppers Drug Mart, a subcontractor, often do not have the ability to provide bilingual services in those specific locations.
What do you think about that? Do you not see it as a problem? I have received a number of emails on the matter saying that we should make sure that, when Canada Post uses subcontractors, provision is made for bilingualism.
I think it’s something that warrants examination.
