I thank the Acting Chairman but I hope he will be as lenient with me as he was with Senator Norris whose two minutes were more like five. I will be brief.

We must take advantage of all technological developments to improve sorting and delivery services. The opening of the market could pose some threats to the future of the postal service. I urge caution because we can learn lessons from privatisation in this country and liberalisation in other countries.
