“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.”

“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.”
