Yesterday, the Conference Board of Canada released a report on the future of Canada Post.

Canada Post has welcomed the report as an opportunity to begin a conversation with all Canadians about how they feel regarding Canada Post’s future. Constituents are encouraged to review the report and be a part of this discussion.  As a Crown Corporation, we are all stakeholders in Canada Post and it is important Canadians offer their views and ideas.
