nounced
Canada Post Corporation,..has released
details of proposed new rates, including a
two -cent increase in the basic letter rate, to
4 take effect April 1, 1987.
The new letter rate will be 36 cents. Most
other postal fees and services would also
rise but the majority of new revenues would
,come from commercial and competitive
services.
As previously announced, the letter rate
increase is less than the rise in the Con-
sumer Price Index continuing a four year
trend. In addition there will be no increase
on, post office lock boxes and on some other
commonly used services such as change of•
address. The five -cent Christmas greeting
card, discount for special postal coded
envelopes will also continue.
While emphasizing market pricing for
commercial mail services, the Corporation
will continue to offer volume and mail
preparation discounts to maximize cost effi-
ciencies and revenue contribution.
The Corporation expects the rate pro-
posals to generate approximately $127
million in additional revenue a year to offset
continuing pressure from inflation 'and
household growth and to "further reduce
