As we know, focusing on essential workers has been a critical aspect of our work as the government. Whether it's to support people who lost their jobs temporarily through the first wave or who might be subject to restrictions as a result of public health measures, the CERB and the wage subsidy are the kinds of things we've been doing to support workers all along.
In terms of essential workers, I think the work we've done to control the flow of non-essential travel across the American border, while making sure that essential workers were able to continue to cross that border, has been incredibly helpful to truckers. In particular, you mentioned truckers. I know there was a high degree of worry at the beginning when we were negotiating those border closures with the Americans. We could not do anything that would stop the essential flow of workers, transportation and trade that is so essential to the functioning of our country, and of course is essential to the jobs and livelihoods of truckers.
I want to thank my colleagues who have done that difficult work with our American partners and reduced the amount of travel across the border while maintaining our ability to have free-flowing transportation for essential workers such as truckers and for the goods that they deliver.
