Mr. Speaker, the Conservative member suggested that it is about cost savings. When we think of Canada Post, we should know something. There is a president. That is the individual who said that it is good exercise for our seniors, and that is one of the motivating reasons for this cutback. There are two group presidents. There are seven senior vice-presidents, and there are 12 vice-presidents.
When I asked the minister responsible about the costs, she had no idea what the costs were. She suggested that we would have to check with Canada Post. Imagine being a letter carrier or someone sorting mail in the mailroom, and the minister has no concept of what those cost savings might be. It has to be frustrating.
Could my colleague in the New Democratic ranks affirm that one of the fears many of the letter carriers and others I have had the opportunity to talk to have is that they just cannot trust the Conservative government with Canada Post? There is a genuine fear of privatization. Maybe she could comment on that.
