“Our government is taking action on trucking, but provinces also have a role. We do not hire highway inspectors. Quebec police must keep doing their job, checking trucks, and making sure driver licenses are valid.”
“Mr. Speaker, I would reiterate that the government has taken action and has stepped up, as confirmed by trucking associations across the country, including in Quebec. This is a shared responsibility. We do not employ highway inspectors. The Sûreté du Québec must continue to do its job. We need inspections. We must ensure that drivers’ certifications are valid and up to date. These are examples of shared responsibility, but the federal government, the Government of Canada, has stepped up to the plate.”
