TOR it 10 — The Canadian Daily
Newsiap r Association ("CDNA")
appe ed in the Federal Court of
Cana Ia May 16, 1995 to request
an orde prohibiting Canada Post
from un wfully exploiting its con-
trol ov access to locked apart-
ment m ilboxes in order to give its
Unaddr ssed Admail service an un-
due co petitive advantage over pri-
vate se for competitors in the distri-
bution of unaddressed advertising
materi is to consumers.
Th CDNA is joined in this ap-
plica ' n by Metroland Printing,
Publi ing & Distributing, Netmar
Inc., and Les Messaeries Publi-
Maispn ee.
The a licants allege that Cana-
da Post as exceeded it's jurisdic-
tion by u lawfully using its, statuto-
ry contr 1 over access to locked
apartme mail box assemblies,
granted it for the purpose of ad-
dressed ail delivery, to acquire a
monopo over the delivery of un -
address flyers to these mailbox-
es. It is he applicants' position that
Canad ost is deliberately exploit-
ing thi. unlawful monopoly as lev-
erage gain an undue advantage
over t e members of the - CDNA
and th other applicants in compet-
ing fo the unaddressed flyer•distri-
button business of advertisers.
This practice is not contemplated
or sanctioned by the Canada Post
Corporation Act, which restricts
Canada Post's monopoly to the de-
livery of the addressed letters, nor
by the regulations made thereunder.
In effect, Canada Post is attempt-
ing to piggyback its competitive
service (the distribution of unad-
dressed flyers) onto its monopoly
service (the distribution of ad-
dressed letters) to obtain an unfair
advantage that was never intended
by the Canada Post Corporation
Act.
According to CDNA president,
John E. Foy, "Canada Post's prac-
tices with regard to apartment ac-
cess deprive the members of the
CDNA and the other applicants of
the ability to compete with Canada
Post on equal terms for the distribu-
tion business of advertisers, many
of whom insist that their unad-
dressed flyers reach apartment
dwellers on a guaranteed and com-
prehensive basis.
This unwarranted extension of
Canada Post's monopoly cost the
members of the CDNA and the oth-
er applicants substantialrevenues
in terms of both lost and potential
business."
Mr. Foy added, "The members of
the DNA, and the other applicants,
are not averse to competing with
Canada Post in the distribution of
unadvised flyers. Indeed, the appli-
cants welcome this competition.
However it is imperative that com-
petition take place on equal terms.
Canada Post should not be permit-
ted to leverage statutory powers in
order to achieve an unfair advan-
tage over its private sector competi-
tors. That is not consistent with the
wording of the Canada Post Corpo-
ration Act." •
The CDNA is a member service
organization serving 84 of the 107
daily newspapers in Canada.
CDNA members account for ap-
proximately 86% of newspapers
distributed daily across Canada.
CDNA members distribute unad-
dressed flyers either as inserts in
their newspapers to newspaper sub-
scribers or to non -subscribers as
stand alone items through various
forms of extended market coverage
vehicles.
The other applicants carry on
various businesses including the de-
livery of unaddressed advertising
flyers, either as inserts in controlled
distribution community newspapers
or on a stand alone basis.
