Mr. Speaker, Canada Post lost approximately $195 million in the last quarter alone as a result of technology, changes in methods of doing business, and decline in mail volume. Yes, we have seen an increase in parcel delivery, but it still represents only a third to a half of overall mail delivery and it is in decline. Clearly it is the responsibility of management to adapt the company to changing times and deliver on the promises of self-sustainability for which it is mandated.
I would encourage my colleague by saying that it has given us a five-step program. Clearly the five-step program should achieve all of the required objectives, and by 2019 we will once again have an organization that is self-sustainable.
