Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Thank you to all of our witnesses for being here today.
Canadians are feeling unsafe on the roads, and they are feeling unsafe in their communities. I hear the language from all of our witnesses here today, things like "criminality", "exploitation", "forced labour" and "chaos". These are not things that I would usually associate with the trucking industry, which used to be a job that could put food on the table for a family. The companies that I know in my area, like Berry & Smith Trucking, have great reputations as family generational businesses.
Mr. Laskowski, you said that there is neglect after 10 years of successive Liberal governments. Can we start with where the neglect has been most acute in your industry?
