In a report published by the Mac- Donald Laurier Institute Thursday, Prof. Ian Lee of the Sprott School of Business at Carleton University in Ottawa said the Crown corporation must make deep cuts. Lee, in his 32- page report, said in order to survive, Canada Post has to go far beyond full community- box delivery. Lee said residential customers should have mail delivered to them only three days a week. He said delivering to each house accounts for 39 per cent of Canada Post's costs. In the next few years, Lee said, Canada Post should raise prices, get rid of its postal monopoly and convert corporate- owned postal outlets into franchises. Business mail would continue to be delivered five days a week. " The status quo will kill the post office," he said. " ' The cheque is in the mail' is a famous saying. My conclusion is the cheque is no longer in the mail." Scott Loutit, vice- president of the Canadian Union of Postal Workers, Local 856, said he believes Lee's recommendations would cut even deeper into staffing levels than the report states. " It would result in a lot of layoffs because if we go to three days instead of five, that's almost half the number. That would be more than 8,000 jobs." Loutit also noted that while Lee is a professor at a university now, in the early 1980s he worked at Canada Post. " This is all about more service cuts and rising prices," he said. " I don't think that's what Canadians want. It's what we hear from them." Lee said his study wasn't commissioned by Canada Post. Lee said Canada Post has no choice but to adapt because he predicts letter delivery will continue to decline so that by 2020, the corporation will deliver more parcels than letters. Dave Angus, president of the Winnipeg Chamber of Commerce, said it supports Canada Post's strategy. " The chamber supports the corporation's decision to do what it considers to be viable," Angus said. " The chamber supports any changes in its business model." kevin. rollason@ freepress. mb. ca Canada Post must switch to three- day delivery: expert Union says at least 8,000 jobs would be cut By Kevin Rollason ' The chamber supports the corporation's decision to do what it considers to be viable' - Chamber of commerce's Dave Angus MIKAELA MACKENZIE / WINNIPEG FREE PRESS FILES A new report calls on Canada Post to boost prices, dump its monopoly and convert corporate outlets to franchises.
