First of all, as we've heard today, driver licensing and training is an area that falls under provincial jurisdiction. We don't have any authorities at the federal level to mandate programs related to driver training.
I'm happy to say—and just to inform the committee—that I am the board member for the federal government at the Canadian Council of Motor Transport Administrators. I work very closely with my federal-provincial colleagues there to update and maintain the national safety code, which includes NSC standard 16, which is the mandatory entry-level training for drivers, which is the latest addition to the safety code, a very important addition.
We work there to continue to share information, share best practices and promote continuous improvement in all aspects of trucking safety.
