Mr. Speaker, I thank the hon. member for his question, but it is peculiar in a couple of ways. One is that he is a member of a government that is making a proposal to end home delivery without considering alternatives like how much a postal bank would cost and how that could support the delivery. It is also a government that has appointed a CEO who is paid more than $500,000 a year to ask basic questions like that and who has 21 vice-presidents assisting him who might have questions like that, which might have been able to save home delivery in Canada. No, they were too busy to ask those questions. I am not sure exactly what they were doing, but it was not planning to maintain home delivery for Canadians across the country.
