Well the House of Commons Standing Committee on Government Operations and Estimates will be conducting a study of the Canada Post Corporation, and wants to hear from Canadians on their needs and views on existing Canada Post services.
The Committee is also considering recommendations for Canada Post to develop its business lines. The study will result in a report to be presented in the House of Commons in December 2016.
You'll have to do a little travelling if you want to present in person, as no hearings will be in the North Bay area.
You are invited to attend these hearings. You must clear security and provide photo identification before being granted access to the meeting room. Line-ups are to be expected.
You can participate in the Committee’s study in the following ways:
REQUESTS TO APPEAR: Requests to appear may be sent to the Committee by email ([email protected]) or by using the “Request to Appear” button on the Committee’s website. The Clerk of the Committee will contact only those who are selected by the Committee members to appear. Requests to appear must be submitted to the Committee no later than Friday, August 26, at 11:59 p.m. (EDT).
E-CONSULTATION: The Committee will commence an e-consultation to broaden participation and inform the Committee’s study of Canada Post. The e-consultation will consist of an online survey that will be accessible from the Committee website from Monday, September 26 to Friday, October 21, 2016. Paper copies of the survey will be available upon request.
