The Conf e rence Board of Canada has released a report on the future of Canada Post.

The Conference Board projected that the relentless decline in mail volumes may lead to losses of close to $1 billion a year by 2020, and examines a number of options to help the Corporation address our financial losses.

Canada Post understands the important role it plays across the country. It must seriously consider all options put forward in the report to avoid becoming a drain on the taxpayers. In doing so, the Corporation must continue to meet its public policy obligations, such as serving every Canadian address, including those in rural and northern Canada.

Canada Post welcomes the report as the start of a conversation with all Canadians about how they feel regarding Canada Post’s future. Your constituents are our customers and we want to engage as many of them as possible in this discussion.  We’re asking Canadians to offer their views so we can capture and analyze them. They can do so on canadapost.ca or by mail to:
