Tom Mulcair to force vote on Canada Post end to home delivery
NDP Leader Tom Mulcair says his party intends to bring the issue of Canada Post's impending cancellation of urban home mail delivery to a vote in the House of Commons.
Mulcair says the NDP will use its first opposition day motion to ask MPs to agree that door-to-door mail delivery is a valuable service provided by Canada Post.
The motion, to be introduced by transport critic Olivia Chow on Tuesday, asks the House to "express its opposition to Canada becoming the only country in the G7 without such a service."
The decision by Canada Post to end urban letter-mail service over the next five years and move to a system of community mailboxes was announced just days after Parliament adjourned for its Christmas break, leaving MPs with no opportunity to debate the issue.
