CANADA POST IN THE DIGITAL AGE Discussion Paper 2016 FRANÇOISE BERTRAND, QUEBEC TASK FORCE KRYSTYNA T. HOEG, ONTARIO FOR THE CANADA POST JIM HOPSON, SASKATCHEWAN CORPORATION REVIEW MARENA MCLAUGHLIN, NEW BRUNSWICK September 2016 The Honourable Judy M. Foote, P.C., M.P. Minister of Public Services and Procurement Dear Minister: On May 5, 2016, this independent Task Force was established to conduct Phase 1 of the Canada Post Review. The mandate was to deliver a discussion paper that outlined viable options for the future of Canada Post Corporation. This paper would then serve as the basis for an informed public dialogue led by a Parliamentary Committee in Phase 2 of the Review which would then make recommendations to the Government. We, the members of the Task Force for the Canada Post Review, are submitting our discussion paper. Our role was not to conduct any public consultations but rather the engagement of stakeholders. We must acknowledge and thank the thousands of Canadians and organizations that took the time to contribute to our part of the Review by meeting with us, responding to the question of the week on the website, or sending us their thoughts, ideas or submissions. Although definitive conclusions or findings cannot be drawn from this input, it did provide us with a broad range of perspectives. To get a statistically representative view of Canadians and businesses from which conclusions could be drawn, formal public opinion research was conducted from coast to coast to coast. Patterson Langlois was commissioned to capture the views of Canadians, Environics the views of Indigenous peoples, and Ekos Research Associates the views of businesses of all sizes.
