My next question is for Mr. Ludwig. Thank you for coming today.
You have operated a family-run trucking company in Simcoe for decades, moving freight through local roads, border routes and regional supply chains that communities in southwestern Ontario rely on every day.
In your testimony, you underlined that Driver Inc. isn't just a labour issue but also a safety governance failure. From what you see on the ground in and around Simcoe, what risk does this enforcement gap pose to public safety, accountability and standards such as hours of service and vehicle maintenance? Do you believe the federal government has treated those risks with the same seriousness that it applies to other transportation safety issues?
