Mr. Speaker, perhaps some facts would be helpful in this matter.
Already two-thirds of Canadian addresses do not have door-to-door delivery; they have community mailboxes or rural box areas.
What we are talking about is one-third. I am sure members realize that there are slippery sidewalks for the other two-thirds of the people who clearly do not receive door-to-door delivery.
It is something Canada Post has experience in dealing with. It will accommodate, when it has requests to do so. We anticipate that, as it rolls out its plan, it will do so in a very thoughtful manner.
