Mr. Speaker, since 2006, more than 55,000 Canadians living in rural areas have lost the right to home mail delivery. More than 40 post offices have been closed.
Many Canadian seniors, like 86-year-old Elsie Bédard, now have to travel long distances to pick up their mail.
All Canadians should have the right to the same service, no matter where they live. The Liberal Party does not want a Canada where rural regions are penalized for the benefit of urban centres.
Why has the government done nothing to stop 55,000 Canadians from being deprived of home mail delivery?
