Mr. Speaker, certainly Canadians from coast to coast to coast are aware of the irony of a structure that has 22 vice-presidents, along with its president, that cuts the sick benefits of its employees. There is something fundamentally wrong in a corporation that is run that way.
Let me also say, to the hon. member's point, that the Conservatives, in talking about the financial need to engage in these changes, keep relying on a report by the Conference Board of Canada. The Conference Board based its 2020 estimate on the assumption that Canada Post would lose $250 million in 2012, but the corporation did not. Canada Post actually made $94 million in net profit in 2012. This is hardly a study we should be relying on to decide the future of Canada's postal services.
