        "en": "<p data-HoCid=\"1829034\" data-originallang=\"en\">Yes. We take those complaints and we give them to Canada Post. We don't get into the day-to-day operation of Canada Post; they're a crown corporation. They have been working very, very closely with these individuals, trying to accommodate them wherever possible. As I said, they don't want to move any of these boxes. They have to, to comply with the Labour Code, and it's really about safety. They have been doing an exceptional job. They're about halfway through. There are about 800,000 boxes that they're assessing, and about 355,000 to 400,000, I believe, in that neighbourhood, have been assessed already, so they're about halfway through. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"1829035\" data-originallang=\"en\">There are some areas of the country where more of these have to be moved and assessed than in other areas. So some of the ones that have a significant number of them that need to be moved have been working exceptionally well. That doesn't mean they're going to solve all the problems, but even the specific member of Parliament from that area has suggested that Canada Post has done an exceptional job in the communication work in trying to accommodate the mail delivery wherever possible.</p>",
        "fr": "<p data-HoCid=\"1829034\" data-originallang=\"en\">Nous transmettons les plaintes que nous recevons \u00e0 la Soci\u00e9t\u00e9 canadienne des postes. Nous ne nous immis\u00e7ons pas dans le fonctionnement normal de la Soci\u00e9t\u00e9 canadienne des postes. C'est une soci\u00e9t\u00e9 d'\u00c9tat. Elle s'est occup\u00e9e tr\u00e8s attentivement des plaignants. Elle a essay\u00e9 de les satisfaire autant que possible. Comme je l'ai dit, la Soci\u00e9t\u00e9 canadienne des postes ne tenait pas du tout \u00e0 d\u00e9placer ces bo\u00eetes aux lettres. Elle est oblig\u00e9e de le faire pour se conformer au Code canadien du travail. C'est vraiment une question de s\u00e9curit\u00e9. L'op\u00e9ration arrive \u00e0 mi-parcours, et le travail accompli jusqu'\u00e0 maintenant est exceptionnel. Sur les 800 000 bo\u00eetes aux lettres dont l'emplacement devait \u00eatre \u00e9valu\u00e9, entre 355 000 et 400 000, approximativement, ont d\u00e9j\u00e0 fait l'objet d'une \u00e9valuation. Donc, environ la moiti\u00e9 du travail est fait. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"1829035\" data-originallang=\"en\">Le nombre de bo\u00eetes aux lettres dont l'emplacement doit \u00eatre \u00e9valu\u00e9 et qui doivent \u00eatre d\u00e9plac\u00e9es est plus \u00e9lev\u00e9 dans certaines r\u00e9gions du pays que dans d'autres. \u00c0 certains endroits o\u00f9 il a fallu d\u00e9placer beaucoup de bo\u00eetes aux lettres, les gens de la Soci\u00e9t\u00e9 canadienne des postes ont exceptionnellement bien r\u00e9ussi. Les probl\u00e8mes ne seront pas tous r\u00e9solus pour autant, mais le d\u00e9put\u00e9 d'une circonscription o\u00f9 un grand nombre de bo\u00eetes aux lettres ont d\u00fb \u00eatre d\u00e9plac\u00e9es s'est donn\u00e9 la peine de f\u00e9liciter la Soci\u00e9t\u00e9 canadienne des postes pour son travail exceptionnel de communication dans le but de livrer le courrier \u00e0 la satisfaction de tous.</p>"
