Mr. Speaker, under the Canada Post Act there is a provision which refers to the exclusive privilege of Canada Post.
Bill C-9 introduces an amendment which says that the exclusive privilege would not apply to letters intended for delivery to an address outside of Canada. This is commonly referred to as the remailer issue that the member talked about.
Although there is a moratorium on rural post office closures, moratoriums are at the discretion of the government, and I believe that rural post offices would be at risk because of this change. I also believe that because of the contracting, the contracting of even urban postal outlets would further impair Canada Post.
I wonder if the member believes that this change would in fact impair, not help, Canada Post.
