Madam Speaker, the postal service is an essential service, particularly in rural areas where the delivery of medicines is on the line.
No one is receiving their mail today because the minister triggered a general strike at Canada Post. In the middle of negotiations, while both parties, including the workers, were coming up with solutions for the future of postal services, Ottawa killed the negotiations by announcing a reform without consultation.
If the Conservatives had done that, the minister would have been the first to speak out about the situation.
What will he do today to restore dialogue?
