Why we conducted the review

The goal of the review, a key mandate commitment of the Minister of Public Services and Procurement, was to help put Canada Post on a self-sustaining footing, while providing valuable services for Canadians well into the future. Views of Canadians matter and were taken into consideration throughout the review.

How the review was conducted

The independent review of Canada Post was carried out in two phases.

Phase 1 An independent four-member task force undertook an analysis of Canada Post’s services and current financial situation, conducted public opinion research, met with key stakeholders, and examined international best practices for postal delivery. On September 12, 2016, the task force released a discussion paper, entitled Canada Post in the Digital Age. The paper was developed by the task force to inform Canadians, Parliamentarians and the Government on Canada Post Corporation’s financial situation, the needs of Canadians and viable options. The results of the public opinion research that was conducted with Canadians, Indigenous peoples, and businesses are also available.

Phase 2 The House of Commons Standing Committee on Government Operations and Estimates consulted Canadians from coast to coast to coast. The information presented in the task force’s discussion paper: Canada Post in the Digital Age provided a starting point for the consultations. The paper is one of many sources that will be used to shape the future of Canada Post. On December 13, 2016, the Standing Committee on Government Operations and Estimates’ released their report: The Way Forward for Canada Post. The Committee’s report includes recommendations to the Government on the future of Canada Post. The government tabled its response to the Standing Committee’s report on April 12, 2017.
