moved for leave to introduce Bill C-259, an act to amend the Canada Post Corporation Act (membership of Board of Directors).
Mr. Speaker, the objective of this bill is to ensure that the board of directors of the Canada Post Corporation includes representatives from each and every province in Canada so that there is a balance and the specific character of each region can be respected, and to set up committees so that, when decisions are made at the regional level, the people from the regions affected are consulted to ensure that the economic impact of those decisions on regional development is taken into account by Canada Post Corporation.
(Motions deemed adopted, bill read the first time and printed.)
