Mr. Speaker, I would like to present a petition on behalf of residents of Langdon, a community of 7,000 people. The petitioners note that they have been without a post office for a year and a half. Ninety per cent of residents surveyed said that they need a post office within the area. Currently, they have to drive 30 kilometres outside of their area to the nearest post office, which 90% say is much too far to drive to a post office. For a year and a half these residents have been without a post office, which is much too long. They need a post office; a year and a half is too long.
