Today Ottawa announced that it is lifting the moratorium on closing rural post offices. This decision will set us back 30 years. People in remote areas rely on Canada Post, particularly to deliver medication. Canada Post absolutely cannot reduce services in rural areas when these are often the only services available.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"8882238\" data-originallang=\"fr\">Will the government ensure that Quebeckers in the regions will not be abandoned?</p>",
