On Monday, Canada Post's fuel surcharges for domestic delivery reached 39.5 per cent, prompting Courtenay-Alberni MP Gord Johns to raise the issue in the House of Commons.
No, I told the postal clerk, I don’t want you to charter a jet and read it to them in person. Just chuck it in a truck with the other presents.
She took another hit Monday when fuel surcharges for domestic delivery reached 39.5 per cent, up half a point from the week before. For its part, Canada Post says year-round fuel surcharges have become standard practice in the shipping industry. “We understand the impact this can have on customers and we therefore work to reflect current pricing,” the corporation said in a statement. The rate is tied to the cost of diesel, ranging from a 20 per cent surcharge when the price per litre is $1.50 to 45 per cent when it tops $2.51.
The MP bristled when federal cabinet minister Helena Jaczek replied to his Commons question by saying that the post office operates at arms length from government.
