I am glad to see the attitude demonstrated particularly by the government in its wish to strengthen the postal system in rural Canada.</p>\n<p>To those who wanted a parliamentary committee to review the continuing operation of the post office, I am not sure that every time we increase the postal rate by one cent or the price of parcel post that a parliamentary committee should have hearings across the country to review it. I would prefer that hon. members of the House deal with the substantive issues of our country and allow an agency such as the one I propose do the task of reviewing postal rates.</p>\n<p>Thank you, Mr. Speaker, and a word of thanks to all my colleagues.</p>",
