Mr. Speaker, I rise today to present a petition on behalf of constituents in my riding, this time from Grand Bank and Baine Harbour.
A number of petitions have been received about the issue of post offices.
The petitioners are calling on the federal government not to consider ending the current moratorium on post office closures.
Those of us who are familiar with rural communities recognize how important post offices are to rural residents.
The petitioners are also concerned about legalizing the activities of remailers, which will erode the revenues of Canada Post Corporation needed to maintain its current universal service obligations.
On behalf of the people of Grand Bank and Baine Harbour who have signed the petition, I am asking for the government's consideration.
