That's a very good question. I appreciate it, because I come from a rural area as well.
When I first became responsible for Canada Post, we worked on a charter that locked in service obligations between Canada Post and rural Canadians--and all Canadians. So the commitment is there that it not be compromised. There is a moratorium in the charter on closures of post offices, particularly in rural areas, that they not close. There are some very small ones, because of fire or they can't find a postmaster who has it in a home. Sometimes they have to go through a procedure to engage the municipality and do everything they possibly can.
I can give example after example of how they have followed that charter to make sure the mail gets through in rural Canada and is not compromised. The service obligation should give you and all Canadians comfort to know that Canada Post sees their obligation to Canadians as an important part of why they are a crown corporation. They will continue to fulfill that. I see no attempt by Canada Post to compromise the service in any way.
