"Our government is delivering on its promise to suspend the conversion to community mailboxes and undertake a review of Canada Post," said a spokesperson for the minister in an email. Once in office, the Liberals put a moratorium on any future conversions of home delivery to community mailboxes. Documents obtained through Access to Information show the government is not convinced by the union's argument that Canada Post is financially healthier than it is being portrayed. "Financial projections suggest that under status quo operations, Canada Post will incur significant ongoing losses going forward," according to a briefing note for the minister of finance in April. The committee's report noted that 830,000 addresses had been moved to community mailboxes to date, saving $80 million annually.
