The Canadian post office has been re-baptized by the hands of the Conservative government and has been bestowed a new service charter so that all Canadians from coast to coast to coast may rejoice that Sir Canada Post has arrived with a fancy new charter will finally get those lazy postal workers off their behinds and do some work which is the stereotype that the public has of them.
According to the new charter the Conservatives have placed a moratorium on any more closures of the post offices and letters will take two days within the community and three days within the province and four days across Canada to get to their destination except the out of the way places or the ones who live close to Santa Clause.
The new charter expects the post office to operate from their revenues, which means the government will not give any more handouts to the crown corporation.
Every five years the post office has to give a progress report to the government.
The new service charter gives the right to the post office to give the public one-month notice when they want to change something like changing to the door service to community mailbox service, which they want to do in big cities.
Every year there will be annual meeting so that the public can have input into their post office.
Maybe some one can explain this clause to me because this one doesn’t make any sense?
10. Canada Post will provide retail postal outlets, including both corporate post offices and private dealer operated outlets which are conveniently located and operated, so that:
- 98 percent of consumers will have a postal outlet within 15 km
- 88 percent of consumers will have a postal outlet within 5 km
- 78 percent of consumers will have a postal outlet within 2.5 km.
Is it the same person that did the federal deficit forecasts?
During the Mulroney years the Canadian post office was transformed from a tax suck!ng bureaucratic government company to a lean mean corporate model that was the envy of all at the time and has continued provided income for the government which they happily took for their other programs.
If they really want to improve their customer service they should get rid of their automated recordings and get live people to transfer calls.
Will this new charter give a better image to the post office time will tell.
It was nice of the Conservatives release this now because I hear the federal political scene is about to get real choppy.
