Canada Post did not have to make a $1.3 billion special payment to a pension plan. The member can tell that to the retirees. Canada Post has structural problems. Letter mail is declining at staggering rates. It has a plan to address that, and the member should let Canada Post get on with delivering on that.</p>",

Postes Canada n'a pas d\u00fb verser un paiement sp\u00e9cial de 1,3 milliard de dollars au fonds de pension. J'invite le d\u00e9put\u00e9 \u00e0 le dire aux retrait\u00e9s. Postes Canada a des probl\u00e8mes structurels. Le volume de lettres exp\u00e9di\u00e9es diminue \u00e0 un rythme effrayant. La soci\u00e9t\u00e9 a un plan pour r\u00e9pondre au probl\u00e8me, le d\u00e9put\u00e9 devrait la laisser le mettre en oeuvre.</p>"
