Mr. Speaker, I rise on behalf of several Prince Edward Islanders who are concerned about the cuts at Canada Post. They are concerned that 6,000 to 8,000 workers will lose their jobs and that this will disproportionately affect the disabled and seniors. These petitioners are saying that Canada Post offers a public service that needs to be protected, and they call upon the government to reverse the cuts to services and to look for ways to innovate in areas such as postal banking.
In the House of Commons on June 16th, 2014. See this statement in context.
