Mr. Speaker, in 2012, Canada Post actually delivered one billion fewer letters than it did in 2006.
The state of play today is that two-thirds of Canadians do not receive mail at their door.
In its five-point plan, Canada Post put forward changes that would ensure Canada Post would be able to service Canadians in the long-term future.
It is important to note as well that while some municipalities have made the choice that the hon. member has spoken to, the Federation of Canadian Municipalities, at its annual conference in Niagara, defeated a resolution soundly on this same topic.
