Madam Speaker, I am pleased to have the opportunity to present a petition on behalf of concerned taxpayers and members of the Canadian Union of Postal Workers in Regina and southern Saskatchewan. Canada Post has lost hundreds of millions of dollars per year for many years and has recently had to seek billions of dollars in loans just to remain solvent. Despite these financial losses, the Crown corporation continues to pay out millions of dollars in executive bonuses.
Signers of the petition are calling on the Liberal government to suspend all executive bonuses at Canada Post until it has stopped its financial losses and presented a credible plan to return the Crown corporation to financial viability while at the same time maintaining the public postal services on which Canadians rely. I am pleased to have the opportunity to present the petition here today in the House of Commons.
