#208/09
Shenderevich/Senderewich: WHEREAS the report of the Canada Post
Corporation Strategic Review (CPCSR) recommends that the current moratorium on
post office closures in rural and small towns be replaced with a mechanism
involving new rules and procedures, including the ability to replace public post
offices with private outlets; AND WHEREAS the report also recommends that rural
mailbox delivery be reconsidered; AND WHEREAS the report proposes that Canada
Post’s highly inadequate community consultation process be used when closing
or “rationalizing” a post office/outlet and that a similar process be used
when replacing rural mailbox delivery with delivery to a community box, green
box or post office; THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED THAT the Rural Municipality of
Shell River write to Rob Merrifield, the Minister responsible for Canada Post,
and request that the government preserve public postal service and jobs in our
community by rejecting CPCSR recommendations that would:
1.
Put an end to the moratorium on post office closures in rural and small
towns and give Canada Post the flexibility to close post offices covered by the
current moratorium or convert these public post offices to private outlets.
2.
Cut delivery to rural mailboxes without exploring all options or properly
consulting with residents or the representatives of rural delivery network.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED THAT we
request that
Minister
Merrifield
consult with the public, postal unions and other major stakeholders to develop
a uniform and democratic process for making fundamental changes to Canada
Post’s retail and delivery network. Carried 7/0
