Mr. Speaker, I would like to table petitions from hundreds of residents of the Lower Mainland of British Columbia, both in NDP-held ridings and in Conservative-held ridings. They are joining their voices together to say “no” to the cuts to home delivery service to five million Canadian households. They say that eventually this reduction in service will result in the privatization of Canada Post. We are talking about thousands of jobs lost. The petitioners are saying that the government is breaking its promise by cutting back on home service delivery. Hundreds of people in Conservative and NDP ridings in British Columbia are saying “no” to the cuts and the elimination of home delivery service in Canada.
In the House of Commons on June 20th, 2014. See this statement in context.
