Mr. Speaker, it is an honour for me to rise today on behalf of the constituents in my riding of Davenport.
They care about public services. Often we hear the government say that some of these public services are not in its jurisdiction, but Canada Post is a public service that the people in my riding take very seriously. In particular, in the area around this one specific location, many people do not drive. They rely on it and they have relied on it for decades. Canada Post has sent out mixed signals as to whether it is keeping it open or closing it.
The petition speaks to this issue and to the importance many people in my riding attach to keeping the postal station open.
