Get Things' Cookin' with a Want AIL 52s-zs22 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 ofessen- tial equipmentand the cost of our work force have all risen substantially. In spite 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: inh more extensive quality control somal a consistent mail service within' implement a new service -monitoring process which will improve reliability. Expand letter carder 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. By 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 arrp of government with its resulting burden onthe .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 is 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 postal rates early next year. Some .of these planned rates can be seen in the following table; 1st Class letter in Canada 0-30 gm 30e >1st Class letter to U.S.A. 0-30 gm . 3E Parcel Post same city 1st Class Parcel e.g. Montreal to Vancouver 11 kilo $3.35 Special Delivery $1 plus lst Class Postage 1 kilo $1.10 Canada Post has a natlonai responsibility to provide the most reliable and complete Mail service possible. The implementation of these new rates is necessary if revenues arebe t more in line with operat- ing to � saryto ease the \ burden of a deficit on the taxpayer. And most imaiwtant of all, necessary to allow Canada Peet to become, through improved sefirfce, one of the beet mall systems in the world. setting things tfor the future Canada"
