Mr. Speaker, I wish to present a petition on behalf of the rural route mail couriers in Canada.
The private sector workers who deliver the mail in rural areas have collective bargaining rights, as do public sector workers who deliver mail for Canada Post urban areas. However the rural route couriers are denied basic rights and help through Canada Post, keeping the wages and working conditions of RRMCs at an unfair level and discriminating against the rural workers.
Therefore the petitioners call upon Parliament to repeal subsection 13(5) of the Canada Post Corporation Act. today.
