Mr. Speaker, for over 150 years, Canada Post has been a cornerstone of our national identity by connecting Canadians in every region. It is more than a mail carrier; it is a vital public service. It is as Canadian as maple syrup. However, today, that service is under threat.
Canada Post is considering cuts to door-to-door delivery, closing post offices, outsourcing jobs and even privatizing. These moves would weaken communities and jeopardize thousands of good union jobs. Postal workers have taken a stand not only for fair working conditions, but to defend this public institution.
The Liberals shut down the strike prematurely, and to this day, no agreement has been reached. Now Canada Post is pushing for a forced vote on its final offer. This will not bring lasting peace. There is a better way. CUPW has proposed final and binding arbitration and a fair, neutral path that suspends strikes and lockouts, and ensures a just resolution.
I urge the minister and this House to stand with postal workers, defend this vital public service, and restore fairness to the bargaining process.
