The committee is very supportive of the post office. Mr. O'Hara should understand that there is cross-party support for the network and members of the committee feel very strongly about the issue. We are here in a cross-party capacity. The issue is not a political one for any of us. We want to see the post office network survive and we will work in a cross-party way.

I invite Mr. O'Callaghan to make his opening statement. He has five minutes.
