I'm sure, but I would take exception. I think it's wishful thinking to suggest that Canadians aren't reacting to your five-point plan proposal. I think it's actually resonating very strongly.
Let me just pick up on a theme that I know you are aware of, which is the question of Canada's aging population and, for that matter, the increase in disability throughout Canadian society.
In my own riding of Ottawa South approximately 10% of my population faces one form of disability or another. That number is growing very quickly. We know that the number of Canadian seniors increased by almost 15% between 2006 and 2011 and that there are now just under five million. I know you know they are going to be profoundly affected by these changes. I just want to give you an opportunity to also react to the fact that there are now 4.5 million Canadians with disabilities, and that number is increasing rapidly, as I mentioned.
Why did the Conference Board not take this more fully into account in suggesting that door-to-door mail be eliminated completely?
