Mr. Speaker, this evaluation should have been done months ago. Christmas is now only weeks away and needy families will have a tough Christmas because of this mail strike.
The Ottawa Food Bank for example is down to one-third of its usual funding. Thousands of needy children will have a bleak Christmas because of this do nothing government.
Surely this government can do better than merely watch from the sidelines while this government authorized monopoly takes the joy of Christmas away from thousands who need it.
Does the minister have any plans at all on solving this thing in the long term?
