From our perspective and for our membership, we represent the majority of property and casualty insurers in Canada. We're very pleased to see that Parliament is looking into this issue. It's something that we've been talking about for a number of years in consultation with other trucking stakeholders, whether they are the carriers or the schools. We've all kind of been on the same page as it pertains to these issues that have been flagged.
Certainly, from our perspective, we feel strongly that training is the biggest line of defence right now. When you have safer drivers on the road, you're more likely to have less accidents and fewer claims and, in general, members of the public will also feel safe. From our perspective and for our members who represent the insurance sector, we'd like to see government harmonize the training regimes across the provinces and territories.
We've seen right now that there are a number that have implemented mandatory entry-level training programs, or some schema related to mandatory entry-level training programs. At this point in time, it's very fragmented. There are different levels of hours of instruction, for example, and different hours as they pertain to the types of modules that the individuals would be studying. We'd like to see some greater consistency across Canada.
