Bill C-14 Should be Sent Return to Sender: Stop postal deregulation - Send a letter to your MP

The federal government has introduced Bill C-14, an Act to amend the Canada Post Corporation Act. If passed, Bill C-14 would partially deregulate Canada Post by removing international letters from Canada Post's exclusive privilege to deliver letters.

CUPW believes that it will become increasingly difficult for our public post office to provide affordable service to everyone, no matter where they live, if the government erodes the very mechanism that funds universal postal service - the exclusive privilege.

As well, we believe that Bill C-14 could set the stage for further deregulation which would harm postal workers, the public and small business.

It has never been more important to act. The union would like you to send a letter to your member of Parliament opposing Bill C-14.

You can:

• Send your own letter or the union's letter.
  
  
• Get a copy of the union's letter and mail it to your MP.
  
  
• Get your MP's name and constituency address by calling Elections Canada at 1-800-463-6868 (no charge). Just tell the person who answers the phone that you would like the name and address of your MP. Or you can get this information by going to the Parliament of Canada website:
