Mr. Speaker, I would like to present a petition signed by citizens of my riding.
The petitioners are asking the government to repeal subsection 13(5) of the Canada Post Corporation Act, which prohibits rural mail couriers from bargaining collectively to improve their working conditions.
Ms. Galarneau, a constituent from my riding who worked as rural mail courier for ten years, arbitrarily lost her contract and has no recourse.
If subsection 13(5) were repealed, as requested in the petition, Ms. Galarneau could have participated in a class action. I therefore submit this petition.
