You don't need reminding that almost everything costs a lot more now than it did almost 3 years ago — the time of the last postal increase. But, can you imagine how much operat- ing costs have risen for the postal system that serves the second largest country in the world? The cost of operating and fueling our vast transportation network, the cost of essen- tial equipment and the cost of our work force have all risen substantially. In spits of our best efforts, the combined effects of these increased operating costs have brought Canada Post to the point where it does not have the financial resources necessary to follow through on important steps being taken to improve service. Some of the steps we want to take are: Introduce more extensive quality control aiming at a consistent mail service within Canada. PACKING THE APPLES — Jack Pipe and Elmer Somers were busily picking and putting apples in crates at the Malt-Side Orchards last week. (Photo by Ranney) Canada Post has a national responsibility to provide the most reliable and complete mail service possible. The implementation of these new rates is necessary if revenues are to be brought more in line with operat- ing expenses... necessary to ease the burden of a deficit on the taxpayer. And most important of all, necessary to allow Canada Post to become, through improved service, one of the best mail systems in the world. , Some of these planned rates can be seen in the following table: 1st Class letter in Canada 0-30 gm 30$ 1st Class letter to U.S.A. 0-30 gm 35$ Parcel Post same city 1 kilo $1.10 1st Class Parcel e.g. Montreal to Vancouver 1 kilo $3.35 Special Delivery $1 plus 1st Class Postage It's been stretched for almost 3 years. We can't stretch it any further. Implement a new service-monitoring process which will improve reliability. Expand letter carrier delivery within many communities to provide more complete service. Increase the availability of specialized mail services such as Priority Post, Special Delivery and Electronic Mail. Taking positive action. k,`•py soon becoming a public corporation, Canada Post will have the freedom to operate as a more responsive and efficient business, and eventually stop being a sub- sidized arm of government with its resulting burden on the taxpayer. But no business can be healthy or effi- cient if It fails to.recognize and adapt to the economic realities in which it must function. And the present reality it that the existing postal rates do not reflect the costs involved in running Canada's mail service the way it should be run. It is for this reason that Canada Post plans the implementation of new postai rates early next year. Canada Post-setting things straight for the future. Canad'S "W"
