Mr. Speaker, I am pleased to present five petitions from residents of the municipalities of Oka, Ripon, Notre-Dame-de-la-Paix, Saint-Colomban and Chénéville, who are calling on the government to maintain the moratorium on closing rural post offices and enable the Canada Post Corporation to maintain, expand and improve postal service.
These people certainly did not know that the budget implementation bill would do away with Canada Post's exclusive privilege.
