The federal government is attempting to push partial deregulation of Canada Post through Parliament in Part 15 of its omnibus budget bill (Bill C-9). Bill C-9 has made it through the House of Commons and is now in the Senate. The Senate Standing Committee on National Finance begins its study of the budget bill on June 14^th.  The Committee will report to the Senate by July 31^st.

A number of Senators have expressed concern about the size and nature of the budget bill. Bill C-9 is filled with a variety of measures that have not been properly examined or debated, including the provision to partially deregulate Canada Post. Progressive Conservative Senator Lowell Murray has made a motion to split the bill.  This motion has not yet been discussed.

Please phone Senators in your area to find out where they stand.

• Deregulating international letters is a huge move. This move deserves to be researched,
  examined and debated, not shoved through Parliament as part of the budget bill.
• Would you be willing to support a motion to split Part 15 from Bill C-9?
