The hours-of-service requirement that has been created now is fair to drivers, but the structure of it creates some pressure on drivers. I'll give you an example.
Let's say the next town where I can stop in northern Ontario is Thunder Bay, and right now I'm in Marathon. It's a three-hour drive, and an hour into the drive there's an accident that shuts the road down—the two-lane road, I will add—for two hours. There is nowhere else for drivers to stop.
The hours-of-service rule contributes to mental health on the one side, but the structure also helps create pressure.
