Canada Post Corporation today announced in the Canada Gazette a one-cent increase (2 %) in the domestic basic letter rate as well as its proposed increases for USA and International letter rates for implementation on January 16, 2006. Under the price-cap formula approved by the federal government in 2000, basic letter rate increases, when warranted, will not exceed 66.67 percent of inflation as measured by the Consumer Price Index from May prior to the last increase to May of the current year. Increases will be implemented no more than once a year, in January, and announced six months in advance in the Canada Gazette Part I.

John McCallum, Minister Responsible for Canada Post, today announced the appointment of Moya Greene as President and Chief Executive Officer of Canada Post. “Ms. Greene comes to this position with significant federal government and private sector management experience,” said Minister McCallum. “I am confident that she will provide strong leadership as President and CEO of Canada Post, and that she will contribute to the future successes of the Corporation.”

Canada named Moya Greene as chief executive officer of the country’s government-owned postal service to replace Andre Ouellet, who quit last year after the company was linked to a sponsorship scandal. John McCallum, the minister responsible for Canada Post, nominated Greene, according to a statement distributed by Canada NewsWire today. Greene, 51, worked in government for 17 years before leaving for jobs at Bombardier Inc., Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce and Toronto-Dominion Bank, the statement said.
