If you don't mind, I would like to come back to your assertion that Canada Post is being cut left and right. Mr. Morency answered you with respect to the monies allocated this year to Canada Post. We have in fact struck a committee with the aim of reviewing certain fundamental aspects of Canada Post's operations. There has been a revolution in the communications industry. If you are not aware of it, your children or grandchildren certainly are. That revolution is called the Internet. New means of communications are now available.
As part of that process, it is important to review a number of issues of interest to Canadians, as well as to parliamentarians and directors. At the present time, a committee has been struck with the mandate of making recommendations. You will be made aware of those recommendations.
Mr. Chairman, my colleague is assuming that we are going to be making cuts, but I think it would be outrageous to do that at this stage. We will have to look at the recommendations together before taking any action whatsoever. Personally, as both a parliamentarian and the Minister responsible, I believe it is important to make decisions on the basis of existing information, rather than seeking out information from a variety of sources that have not yet been validated or are unclear.
