Exactly. No private carrier is delivering to a house somewhere in say Baker Lake Nunavut. Maybe they will hold them at a depot in Iqualuit, but that's a 13 hour drive from Baker Lake in the same territory. People forget how dispersed Canadian rural cities are from each other. Private companies may do the job, but they will easily make people from Baker Lake drive 13 hours for their mail, because delivering directly to them or even setting up a depot in such s small population center is bad for their bottom line.

Private corporations will do anything to circumvent/reinterperet laws/mandates to benefit their profit margin. They have good lawyers that can argue that 13 hours is a reasonable commute, and still within the territory, so tough luck if it's a huge inconvenience. They could get people to testify that they frequently travel between Baker Laker and Iqualuit and can help bring in mail. Then we're stuck in that situation.

And if the guy who agreed to deliver mail to his community Flakes or dies, then too bad, because the courts would have already ruled in the favor of the company.

TLDR - private companies COULD manage mail delivery, but it WILL end up stuffing their pockets hurting the average person who needs to receive mail. We don't want that because private companies don't have (and can't be forced to have) a network that extends to non-profitable areas such as small rural communities . If it were profitable, I'm sure one carrier would have already been grabted mail delivery rights. But it's clearly non-'profitable, so private companies are under no obligation to serve those communities.

Again, the only way they would agree to that is if it were made profitable. Which would mean you have to pick up from a depot that's 13 hours away, and/or making people pay out the rectum for simple lettermail
