The federal government says it is not planning to intervene to resolve the labour dispute at Canada Post, even with less than a month to go before Christmas.

Speaking to reporters on Wednesday, Labour Minister Steven MacKinnon said sending the matter to binding arbitration “is not in the cards,” even though he invoked that authority only a few weeks ago to resolve the ports dispute and a few months ago to resolve the rail dispute.
