Transportation

During question period, the Bloc Québécois raised the rise in fatal trucking accidents, saying over 100 people died last year in crashes involving heavy trucks, about 20% above the previous five-year average, and attributing this to companies using the Driver Inc. model putting unsafe drivers on the road. The Bloc asked when the government would act, noting it had offered ten solutions, and accused the government of close ties to a trucking lobby group that donated to the Liberals. The Liberal minister replied that road safety is a shared responsibility, pointing to federal steps such as ending tax treatment for certain trucking companies, shutting down some operators, and sending inspectors to workplaces, while saying provinces and police, such as the Sûreté du Québec, must handle highway enforcement and licence checks.Written by AI from the debate.
