Ms. Greene, thank you for being here today.
Canada Post serves the citizens who elect us. In a way, we are the representatives of Canada Post shareholders. Today, you have been unable to demonstrate that a number of decisions, such as the closure of the Quebec City postal sorting station, met the needs of residents in the region, particularly where service is concerned. That is what I understand. Some other committee members remain unconvinced as well.
My concerns are on transportation security. I am told that a letter will leave Chicoutimi, go through Quebec City, through Montreal, then come back to Quebec City and to Chicoutimi. I have difficulty understanding how you will maintain the same quality of service. If there is a single postal sorting station in Quebec, and there is a problem in Montreal, how will you ensure service in eastern Quebec? I also see a great deal of transportation occurring between Quebec City and Montreal, while we are trying to achieve sustainable development and reduce the number of points of transportation.
I know that you do not have much time to answer, but these are issues that concern me and my colleagues.
