Despite its many inaccuracies, the recent report of the Montreal Economic Institute (Canada Post: Opening Up to Competition) is accurate in one respect. The study confirms that public ownership of Canada Post continues to provide Canadians with postage rates that are much lower than those charged by the few privatized post offices in Europe.
The report fails to mention the actual postage rates in the privatized post offices it selects for comparison – Germany, Austria and the Netherlands - so let’s do some easy math. In Canada we pay 59 cents to mail a standard letter. Compare this rate to Germany ($0.77 Can), Austria ($0.77 Can, set to go up soon) and the Netherlands ( $0.64 Can). Our public post office wins hands down.

Dear Mr. Merrifield:
I am writing to thank you for your response to my letter dated December 7, 2009 and to request clarification on three issues.
I understand from your letter that the government “has carefully considered all of the panel’s recommendations” from the Canada Post Corporation Strategic Review. Will the government be taking further action as a result of this consideration? For example, will you be accepting or rejecting the recommendation for an employee share ownership plan (#25)? Selling or giving shares to employees is partial privatization. Accepting this recommendation would violate the government’s promise not to consider privatization.
I also understand from your letter that the government has decided to maintain the current moratorium on post office closures in rural and small one-post-office towns. This is good news. However, we would like to know if the government expects post offices and outlets covered by the moratorium to be public offices and not private outlets.
.
February 11, 2010
I am writing in response to your correspondence of December 7,2009,
regarding the moratorium on rural post office closures, the consultation process in the
Canadian Postal Service Charter and recommendations in the report of the Canada
Post Corporation Strategic Review.
As I have indicated to you in earlier correspondence, the Service Charter
clearly states that postal services to rural regions are an integral part of Canada Post's
universal service. Consequently, the Government of Canada is maintaining the existing
moratorium on the closure of rural post offices. No dilution of the existing moratorium is
being considered.
Section 14 of the Service Charter specifically addresses community
outreach and consultation around decisions to permanently close, move or amalgamate
corporate post offices. Given my responsibilities for Canada Post, I am informed of the
results of all community consultations and of the arrangements made to ensure ongoing
postal service to the community.

Dear Mr. Merrifield:
Subject: Moratorium on closure of rural post offices – maintenance of postal services (Strategic Review of the Canada Post Corporation)
To begin with, I wish to remind you that the Bloc Québécois has always rejected any attempt to reduce, close or transfer postal services that could seriously impact postal delivery services as we presently know them. We are well aware that such changes in services would have grave consequences on our communities. In light of this, I am writing you to request clarification on several concerns of ours that remain unanswered.

Dear Mr. Merrifield:
Re: Canada Post
I received a copy of a letter to you from the Canadian Union of Postal
Workers (dated December 7, 2009) which raises concerns regarding the
Canadian Postal Service Charter and the Canada Post Corporation
Strategic Review (CPCSR).
Like CUPW, I am concerned that the government has not clarified its
policy on the moratorium, as outlined in the Canadian Postal Service
Charter. How does the government interpret its commitment to maintain
the moratorium on rural post office closures? Are public post offices in
rural and small one-post-office towns covered by the moratorium
provision in the new Canadian Postal Service Charter? FUltherrnore, is
there an expectation that the post offices and outlets covered
.
December 7, 2009
I am writing further to my letter of September 14, 2009 to request a response to questions about the moratorium on rural post office closures and to also request information relating to the government’s response to the report of the Canada Post Corporation Strategic Review.
.
October 15, 2009
In June 2009, the federal government
introduced Bill C-44, an Act to amend the Canada
Post Corporation Act. If approved, this bill would partially deregulate Canada
Post by removing international letters from Canada Post’s exclusive privilege to
handle letters.
I oppose Bill C-44. Canada Post has an "exclusive privilege" to collect, transmit
and deliver letters, including international letters, in order to finance its
universal service obligation.
The government should not be considering this major move without a proper
review of the issue. This did not happen during the government’s recent
strategic review of the post office.
.
September 14, 2009
Dear Mr. Merrifield:
I am writing to get clarification on the federal government’s commitment to maintain the moratorium on the closure of rural post offices.
As you know, this commitment was included in the recently announced ‘Canadian Postal Service Charter’.
The Charter says:
“11. The moratorium on the closure of rural post offices is maintained.”
The Charter does not say the current moratorium on closures is maintained. It does not say the moratorium on the closure of post offices in “small” one-post-office towns is maintained. The Charter only mentions “rural” post offices.

Dear Mr. Merrifield:
I am writing to request a response to my letters of May 14, 2009 and June 24, 2009 regarding the report of the Canada Post Corporation Strategic Review (CPCSR) and your response to this report.
As you know, we have a number of concerns. We are especially troubled by the CPCSR recommendations to reconsider rural delivery and end the moratorium on post office closures in favour of a mechanism which gives Canada Post the flexibility to close post offices or convert these public post offices to private outlets. We are also concerned about the recommendation to legalize the activities of remailers, not to mention the fact that the government has accepted this recommendation by introducing Bill C-44.
In May 2009, you indicated that the government intended to take some time to review the CPCSR report and engage in consultations before it commented on report recommendations.
.
June 24, 2009
Dear Mr. Merrifield:
Re: Changes to the Canada Post Corporation Act Concerning Remail
I am writing to state the opposition of the Canadian Union of Postal Workers to the decision of the federal government to amend the Canada Post Corporation Act to legalize the activities of the remailers. As you know both Canada Post Corporation and CUPW have voiced our concerns on many occasions that allowing the remailers to continue to siphon off CPC’s lettermail volumes and revenues would erode CPC’s abilities to provide service in remote and rural areas. Indeed, CPC President Moya Greene has estimated that the illegal activities of the international remailers result in a loss of revenue for CPC of between $60 to $80 million dollars annually.
During our meeting of May 7, 2009 you stated that the government intended to take time to review the report and engage in consultations before it comments on the recommendations of the report of the Canada Post Corporation Strategic Review (CPCSR). Instead you have acted unilaterally to introduce legislation to legalize the activities of the remailers. We wish to know why the government has acted only on this one recommendation, out of sixty, which was never explained in the CPCSR report. Your actions will have a detrimental impact on the finances of CPC. We hope you will reconsider this decision and we would like to have an opportunity to discuss this matter with you directly.

Dear Mr. Merrifield:
Re: Response to the report of the Canada Post Corporation Strategic Review
I would like to thank you for meeting with representatives of the Canadian Union of Postal Workers (CUPW) on May 7, 2009 and for listening to our views on the report of the Canada Post Corporation Strategic Review (CPCSR).
As you know, there was not enough time at the meeting to adequately cover a number of recommendations. As such, I thought it would be useful to put our initial response to major report recommendations in writing. As well, the union has a number of questions relating to the report.
From our point of view, the report contains both positive and negative recommendations.

Dear Mr. Merrifield:
Re: Report of the Canada Post Corporation Strategic Review
I am writing to follow up on my November 7th letter which asks you to let us know when the report of the Canada Post Corporation Strategic Review (CPCSR) will be released to the public.
When the federal government launched the Canada Post Corporation Strategic Review a year ago, it promised to make the report of the CPCSR public. The government has not yet done this in spite of receiving the report four months ago.
A previous government only took about two months to release the report of the Canada Post Mandate Review, which was the last report on our public post office.
Four months is a very long time, even by normal standards.

All parties in the House of Commons are officially opposed to postal privatization, yet the Conservative government recently announced intentions to create PPP Canada Inc., a Crown Corporation designed to manage and encourage privatization through Public-Private Partnerships (P3s). Recent moves suggest that Canada Post is working with the government to pursue privatization of our public post office through P3s.

Subject: Sale or Privatization of Canada Post
In a Toronto Star article (Flaherty engages in numbers game he denounced, December 6, 2008), Chisholm Pothier, press secretary to Finance Minister Jim Flaherty, elaborated on Minister Flaherty’s announced review regarding the sale of government assets. Pothier is reported to have said that the government is focusing on a possible sale of enterprise Crown corporations, including Canada Post.
We followed up with Flaherty’s press secretary and he informed us that the reporter was mistaken and that the Minister actually said, “We have no intention to sell either Canada Post or the CBC.”

Dear Ms. Greene:
On behalf of the 56,000 members of the Canadian Union of Postal Workers (CUPW), I am writing to express our concern about Canada Post’s intention to pursue privatization through Private-Public Partnerships (P3s).
Canada Post’s recent appointment of Jodie Parmar to focus on Public-Private Partnerships (P3s) is indeed disturbing, as was his presentation at the 16th Annual P3 National Conference on November 25th, 2008, in Toronto: There Mr. Parmar presented that Canada Post intends to build more facilities and that if they are to be P3s then they will be full P3s, including private investors’ goals to design, build, finance, maintain (facility and equipment) and operate public postal facilities.
