Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I think there was a misunderstanding at Canada Post of conditions for shipping. It was an internal misunderstanding. Canada Post has put out posters, somewhat like the one I am holding here, which is a Xerox copy that says in varying letters, all postal facilities, Canada Post does ship fur. On the info poster publication dated January, 1998, page four, it is stated that furs cannot be shipped by Canada Post that this headline and article are incorrect. In actual fact, T&T Express Worldwide has been experiencing customs related difficulties with this commodity. They have decided this commodity will no longer be accepted for shipment via the sky tax service. This applies to all countries. However, you have customers who wish to ship furs by Canada Post air and surface parcel service. Proper customs declarations must be enclosed, since the governing regulations are country specific. Please refer to the postal guide part two. Please ensure that your postal outlet staff are aware of this correction. Thank you.
