Overview

  • Procurement Minister Joël Lightbound’s office confirmed receipt of the submission and said it is reviewing the plan.
  • Canada Post said it will release specifics only after the federal government signs off on the proposal.
  • CEO Doug Ettinger described the plan as a way to modernize operations while safeguarding a service Canadians rely on.
  • The government set a 45‑day deadline in late September, and Canada Post says it filed the plan at the end of last week.
