Laval Mayor Marc Demers is upset that Canada Post is going forward with the installation of community boxes after it postponed the phasing out of door-to-door delivery.

The Crown corporation announced on Oct. 26 that it was halting its conversion process for the months of November and December.

Demers said going ahead with the installation of the boxes is a waste of public funds, and now he is calling upon local MPs to intervene and put an end to Canada Post's plans.

Prime Minister-designate Justin Trudeau actively supported maintaining home mail-delivery service during the federal election campaign.

The stalled conversion process has cast about 460,000 Canadians into home-delivery limbo.
