Mr. Speaker, and then part of the profits of Canada Post goes to general revenue of the federal government.
Rural B.C. communities are experiencing a reduction in postal services. Beaverdell, a small community in my riding, will see the closure of its post office on Saturdays as of November 17. As a concerned citizen pointed out to me, “There are folk who live here but work in Kelowna or elsewhere who can only access their mail on Saturdays”. Our government should not allow Canada Post to trim its budget on the backs of rural communities.
Will the minister commit today to contact Canada Post and put a stop to these ruthless measures?
