Steven MacKinnon Liberal
“The federal government is doing its part for road safety. We stopped tax breaks for bad trucking companies, shut them down, and sent inspectors to check their workplaces. Now the provinces and police need to keep the roads safe.”
“Mr. Speaker, road safety is, of course, a shared responsibility. I am proud to say that the federal government has stepped up to be part of the solution. We have eliminated the possibility of special treatment from the Canada Revenue Agency. We have worked to ensure that these companies cannot operate and are deemed illegitimate. We are also deploying inspectors to ensure compliance with the Labour Code. Now it is up to the provinces and police to keep the roads safe.”
