Canada Post today announced the introduction of a new non-denominated stamp that will retain its value forever. The PERMANENT™ stamp will be accepted at the basic domestic Lettermail™ rate and replaces next year's 52¢ domestic rate definitive stamps. The PERMANENT™ stamp will eliminate the need to purchase 1¢ stamps after a rate increase, doing away with the need for Canadians to worry about 'using up' postage stamps before a rate increase takes effect."

OBS

Postes Canada a annoncé aujourd'hui le lancement d'un nouveau timbre sans valeur nominale qui conservera sa valeur à vie. Le timbre PERMANENTMC s'ajustera au tarif du régime intérieur de base de Poste-lettresMC et remplace ainsi les timbres courants au tarif du régime intérieur de 52 ¢ de l'année prochaine. Grâce au timbre PERMANENTMC, les Canadiens n'auront plus à acheter des timbres de 1 ¢ après une majoration tarifaire et ils n'auront plus besoin de se hâter à «épuiser» leur réserve de timbres-poste avant une hausse des tarifs.

OBS

PERMANENTMC et Poste-lettresMC sont des marques de commerce de Postes Canada.
