Thank you, Chair.
I heard from many trucker groups recently that there's a cross-border issue. When the government imposed the federal mandates and people chose to exercise their medical autonomy to not be vaccinated, there was a shortage of truck drivers for cross-border runs. I saw this in the springtime with getting food from California into Canada, and with produce.
I'm just wondering if you can comment on whether or not those federal mandates were part of the reason we have a labour shortage in this sector currently, and whether that damaged Canada's supply chain.
Mr. Laskowski.
