Canada Post delivers over 11 billion pieces of mail each year to 14 million destinations. Its 60,000 employees and 6,600 post offices – the largest retail network in the country – serve 32 million Canadians and over 1 million businesses and public institutions from coast to coast to coast. In 2007, The Canada Post Group recorded its 13th consecutive year of profitability, earning consolidated net income of $54 million on consolidated revenue from operations of $7,474 million.

In the interest of serving our customer and employee needs, Canada Post's President and CEO is required to visit various locations on a regular basis.

The rules and guidelines for reimbursing travel and hospitality expenses are contained in Canada Post's Travel and Expense Claim Policy. This policy provides directives for reimbursement of legitimate and reasonable expenses incurred while conducting business on behalf of Canada Post.
