Mr. Chair, on the particular topic of Canada Post, speakers have noted that Canada Post has put forward a five-point plan. In that there are a mixture of measures both to increase revenues for the company, as well as cutting costs.
One of the items not talked about, but is a looming issue with respect to all postal operations around the world, or at least in advanced economies, is some of the difficulties funding pensions. I know that was an additional measure that had to be undertaken.
Could the minister talk about how the government had to assist Canada Post with respect to its obligations in order to manage its cash flow situation?
