Thank you very much, Mr. Chair. From what I understand, the partners and communities were not consulted directly, apart from the survey and other things. minister Is there a plan on the's desk? Where is it headed? Are the outlines of the plan on the minister's desk?
Can you tell us today whether, over the past 12 months, Canada Post has communicated with all the municipalities potentially affected by any current or potential changes to the postal network and by the lifting of the moratorium? Has there been an official letter sent to those municipalities?
I appreciate that, Mr. Chair.
Thank you very much, Mr. Chair. Mr. Ettinger, we're talking about consultations. What consultations have been held to date?
That's why we need the list. I live in a rural community. Last week, two mayors reached out to me. They're looking for information and they don't have any, or very little. That said, we can provide information proactively. I learned today that the general public is looking for information. There are partners who are asking a specific question, and they don't know where we stand. They also don't
I'm an entrepreneur. My business is my money. We're talking about a public service here. Communities right across this country want accountability.

I have a point of order, Mr. Chair. I can't hear the interpretation.
How is it that—
Thank you, Mr. Chair. Good morning, Mr. Ettinger. Thank you for being here. I have to tell you that I'm uncomfortable. You received the mandate on September 25, 2025. It is now June 18, 2026. Today is the last day of parliamentary business. This committee has waited until now to get some interesting information. You are appearing before us during one of the biggest transformations at Canada
Mr. Ettinger, my concern is not just about the content. It's also the way it's being conducted. It seems that some decisions are being made behind closed doors or are revealed in dribs and drabs when they may already have been made. Do you understand why many observers feel that this transformation is taking place behind the scenes rather than in the open? Can you provide the committee with a
With all due respect, Mr. Ettinger, this is Parliament. Canada Post is a Crown corporation. I meet regularly with mayors, reeves and elected municipal officials, and that's not what they're saying. They're wondering what's going to happen. They're looking for information. Even we, as parliamentarians, are asking questions without getting a clear answer. Can we have the respect of a Crown
