"Andrea Stairs, Managing Director of eBay Canada, testified before the Canadian House of Commons Standing Committee on Government Operations during a budget consultation hearing on October 31.

At the hearing, Andrea provided eBay’s perspective on next steps the Canadian government should take to promote a robust and solvent postal system. Her testimony, which built on eBay seller [mjwl2006's] testimony to the committee earlier this month, focused on the role Canada Post plays in supporting small business ecommerce in the country. Andrea also emphasized in her testimony that the government should be forward-looking in reform efforts and suggested that an update to Canada’s de minimis threshold would increase much-needed parcel volume for the Post."

Wow, I just saw this.  How marvelous!  We here were lucky to have you.  You clearly put some amazing effort into it.

I can hear audio at this link but not view video. Nonetheless I would encourage everyone to give it a listen. Ms. Stairs is very well-spoken and it is interesting to learn more about ebay's relationship with Canada Post on a level that surpasses our everyday pack-and-print-postage-labels.
