“The chair of the transport committee went to an event held by a group that supports Driver Inc. That group is dangerous and causes deaths. Why are the Liberals supporting them instead of banning them?”
Official Hansard

Mr. Speaker, my question is for the Liberal chair of the Standing Committee on Transport, Infrastructure and Communities, the member for Vaudreuil. Two days ago, he posted on social media that he was the guest of honour at an event organized by a group that promotes Driver Inc., namely the CTOA. The committee just completed a study on the loss of life. It just heard testimony from victims. It just heard the entire trucking industry denounce this public danger, and yet the committee chair still shows up at this group’s events. Why are the Liberals and that committee chair promoting Driver Inc. instead of banning them?
