June 1, 1993 (34th Parliament, 3rd Session)

Mr. Jerry Pickard (Essex -Kent):

Madam Speaker, my question is for the minister responsible for Canada Post.
In today's annual report of Canada Post operations for 1992-93 there is no mention of certain extraordinary expense items such as rental and operation of a Sky-Dome box, promotion and expense of functions such as auto racing, air shows, sporting activities, bursary expenses for theatre and dance.
Will the minister confirm that indeed Canada Post continues to squander resources on these non-postal activities?
Will the minister immediately demand disclosure of such extraordinary expenses from Canada Post officials?
