Thank you, Mr. Chair.
With the minister cutting into my time like that, I'm feeling less love than Mr. Volpe here.
I'm kidding.
I want to ask a question of Minister Merrifield with respect to Canada Post, and then one on VIA Rail.
Picking up on rural mail delivery, as I drive from work to home in my own constituency, which is a rural constituency, I've seen a couple of situations. One is that I still continue to see drivers in left-hand vehicles driving against the flow of traffic in order to easily reach into the mail box. I'm not sure that is a proper situation. Or I've seen what is presumably at least the short-term solution, which is to add a second driver in the right-hand passenger seat to drive with the flow of traffic and be able to easily reach into roadside mail boxes. I'm not sure that the addition of a second driver is likely a long-term solution for what was originally an ergonomic problem of a single driver reaching all the way across into a mail box.
My question is whether you're aware of any analysis being conducted by Canada Post about the implementation of right-hand-drive vehicles with respect to rural mail delivery? If so, when do they expect to complete such an analysis, and is there any agreement with any auto maker or other tenderer, or some sort of agreement to provide right-hand vehicles, if it is deemed necessary to have them?
What can you tell us about that?
