“Canada Post belongs to one Shareholder, the Government of Canada, but the reality is that Canada Post belongs to all Canadian citizens. Canada Post initiated its very 1st Annual Public Meeting in 2006 because our Board of Directors believes in, and is committed to transparency and openness. Indeed, Canada Post has demonstrated a concerted effort in recent years to become a more open and customer-focused company.”
Mr. Donald Woodley
Interim Chairperson of the Board of Directors
Canada Post Annual Public Meeting, June 12, 2007
St. John’s, Newfoundland and Labrador
