Mr. Speaker, Canada Post has greatly exaggerated the amount of mail that has accumulated.
In Toronto, there are 70 semi-trailers of mail, not hundreds as Canada Post is claiming in the media. There is one truck in London, six in Hamilton, two in Halifax, and 15 in Moncton. All this mail can be delivered in a matter of days. Canada Post fabricated a false crisis and the government took the bait.
Why is the Minister of Labour not protecting workers' safety? Why did she side with management instead of protecting postal workers' rights?
