Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Very briefly, as you consider my bill clause by clause, I would explain the impetus behind it. During the course of a campaign, I discovered that Canada Post offers libraries a reduced rate to move books back and forth across not only the province but across the country, and this amendment will actually put that discounted postal rate into legislation. That was the intent, so that libraries could feel confident that they weren't going to wake up some morning and find the rates had either been increased to full retail, or any amount, and that if Canada Post were to decide to increase the amount, it would have to come to the executive council of cabinet for a final decision.
There are a couple of amendments being proposed. I have seen them and I certainly agree with them. With that, I thank the committee for its hard work and also the House for its unanimous approval to bring the bill forward to committee.
Thank you.
