Strategic Canada Post Review Panel
The Canada Post Corporation is undergoing a strategic review, which impacts on the Canadian magazine publishing industry. Magazines Canada sent a submission to this panel outlining its recommendations, in September 2008. At the same time, Magazines Canada also sent a letter to the federal Minister responsible for Canada Post, Lawrence Cannon. In its submission to the Strategic Review Panel of Canada Post, Magazines Canada recommends:
-
There should be a formal postal "contract" between the federal government and Canada Post which outlines the responsibilities both financial and social that the crown corporation must discharge.
-
The "contract" should include clear direction to Canada Post that it will provide delivery services for Canadian magazines to all regions of Canada at a reasonable cost.
-
Increased competition should be introduced into magazine delivery in Canada.
-
An independent adjudicator should be created to ensure compliance with the postal contract.
-
Lettermail rates should rise with actual delivery costs.
-
Rate increases should be transparent, timely and predictable.
-
Distance Related Pricing and other radical changes should be put on hold until all reviews have been completed.
