SPEAKING NOTES FOR THE HONORABLE DIANE MARLEAU
MINISTER RESPONSIBLE FOR CANADA POST CORPORATION
RELEASE OF THE CANADA POST MANDATE REVIEW REPORT
National Press Theatre October 8, 1996 10:30 a.m.
(PLEASE CHECK AGAINST DELIVERY)

——————————————————————————–
Good morning, ladies and gentlemen.
Today the government is releasing the results of the independent review of the mandate of the Canada Post Corporation. This Review was launched on November 6th of last year to examine financial and policy issues related to the future of Canada Post, so that the government could ensure that Canadians receive the most efficient and cost-effective postal service possible.

I want to thank the person who chaired the review, Mr. George Radwanski, for his work. In preparing his report, Mr. Radwanski consulted Canadians from coast to coast, and the report makes a significant contribution to understanding how Canadians view their Post Office, and what they expect from it in the way of services and behaviors. Importantly, the report indicates that 76 percent of Canadians are generally satisfied with the service they receive from Canada Post.

But the report also identifies many issues where change is essential. This government takes these issues, and the report, very seriously.

Given the major changes being proposed, I am compelled to provide some context and indicate areas where the government is prepared to act immediately.

The government recognizes that the Canada Post Corporation is a large and complex organization, which touches all Canadians. It is also a major force in Canada’s economy, and one of the country’s largest employers, with more than 63,000 full and part-time employees. Canadians have invested over $1.4 billion in Canada Post since it was made a Crown Corporation in 1981. This is over and above the initial resources that were transferred to the Corporation. It is a valuable asset for Canadians which the government has an obligation to protect.

Decisions on its future cannot be made lightly, and the government needs to carefully analyze the recommendations in the report before providing a complete response. In addition, Canada Post — after many years and millions of dollars of subsidies — is no longer dependent on taxpayer support. The report I am releasing today makes dramatic recommendations for altering Canada Post’s financial basis. Before the government proceeds further, we must be certain that this approach is feasible, and that we understand fully how it will impact Canadians.

I want to emphasize that the government regards Canada Post as a significant federal institution, and that it sees Canada Post continuing to carry out a public policy role based on the provision of mail to all Canadians, no matter where they live. Therefore, this service must continue to be accessible and available at a uniform rate for all Canadians, whether they are mailing a letter within downtown Montreal or from Yellowknife to Halifax. Canada Post will continue to operate as a Crown Corporation as long as it carries out this role, and will continue, for the foreseeable future, to have the exclusive right to deliver letters.

Whether Canada Post should continue to offer services beyond this role is a legitimate debate, and Mr. Radwanski in his report has offered the government some views. According to Mr. Radwanski, Canada Post, in the pursuit of financial st
