Addressing the province’s municipal leaders on Saturday, NDP Leader Thomas Mulcair alleged that fulfilling the needs of towns and cities will become a major campaign issue in this fall’s election. Mulcair was to address the Quebec Union of Municipalities at the Palais des congress in Montreal, when he promised to restore daily home mail delivery. He stated that “I’m here to tell you that the NDP will restore door-to-door mail delivery across Canada.”

Reiterating Mulcair’s remarks, Liberal MP Stephane Dion criticized Conservatives for not challenging the Canada Post reform. Dion alleged that consultations and studies were held to consider options but the Conservatives failed on them. He claimed that the Canadian cities are being let down by the Conservatives. He pointed out that “just to balance the budget on time for the election, they cut their program by more than 80 per cent and that’s very unacceptable.” Whereas Mulcair added that Canada is the only G7 country to have cut back on its mail in such a way. He stated that “Canada is the only in the G7 with no national vision whatsoever for public transit. No plan, no ideas. We’ll change that.”

Meanwhile the Conservative Infrastructure Minister, Denis Lebel, alleged earlier in the morning that he will ask Canada Post about the consultation process conducted in cities on the installation of community mailboxes. It was stressed that the Crown corporation was free to choose and that neither he nor the government could decide in place.
