I find that response rather inconsistent. You say you're not involved in this, but you're giving them contracts. I have court rulings here. Companies have been named. It's been proven that they misclassified workers, which means they used the Driver Inc. model.
Worse still, I have examples, if you're not convinced yet. I didn't hear you say that, but I almost get the impression that you're telling us that the news is fake news.
I can give you the names of companies. Autobahn, a well-known member of the Canada Truck Operators Association—which is the Driver Inc. lobby—receives contracts from Canada Post. BPR Trucking was fined $30,000 by Employment and Social Development Canada. That company is prohibited from bringing in temporary foreign workers. There's a reason for that. Sim-Tran, or Simard Transport, which had contracts with you, was hit with a $136,000 penalty by the Workplace Safety and Insurance Board, or WSIB, the Ontario equivalent to Quebec's Commission des normes, de l'équité, de la santé et de la sécurité du travail. A $136,000 penalty corresponds to $3.4 million in unreported wages. These are people who likely used the Driver Inc. model. Canada Cartage Diversified, which received numerous contracts from Canada Post, was subject to a $161,000 penalty by the WSIB, which is roughly equivalent to $4 million in unreported wages. Roadies Shunt Services was hit with a $193,000 penalty by the WSIB, representing $4.8 million in unreported wages. This company received a huge number of contracts from Canada Post, even in 2024 and 2025. Daytona Freight Systems owes $8.7 million in unreported wages.
You're telling me that all these companies have nothing to do with the Driver Inc. model, even though we filed access to information requests, obtained the information and found that all these companies had been subject to corrective measures by the WSIB. Millions of dollars in wages are not reported to the government by these companies. These are shady companies that you are indirectly funding with public money. Are you not guilty of that?
