Mr. Speaker, I think that the hon. member's question also highlights the fact that we still receive our municipal tax bills and other items in the mail, and that will be the case for some time.
This decision creates costs for cities as well as many charities and small and medium-sized businesses. There will be maintenance issues for cities. Who will be in charge of upkeep? Who will take care of snow removal? There are often problems with garbage around existing boxes. British Columbia's police services have said that there are often vandalism issues with the boxes. Who will pay for security, snow removal, cleanup and the direct postal costs that cities will have to take on?
