Thank you very much, Mr. Chair.
I have just a few questions. It's good to see you eye-to-eye for the first time.
I must say that last year, when you cut off rural service in my riding, you galvanized a community as I've never seen one galvanized before. In the public information sessions we had people swinging from the chandeliers.
You said in your opening statement that you are not a safety expert, but at the same time, when these services were cut off last year there were no criteria or anything used to cut them off. People were given their one-day notice and told to go pick up their mail at a post office.
