Mr. Chair, I appreciate the response, but the problem is that I do have a difficult time having confidence in it.
About 10 years ago, in September 2016, the Department of Transport, the department the minister is responsible for, had a partnership with provinces to put together a task force that made quite an extensive report on this very issue, “Supporting the Efficient Movement of Trucks Across Canada”, which made recommendations on the very topics we are discussing today. That was nearly 10 years ago. Of course, the Liberal government has been in power that entire time and has had the report in the department. I am sure the minister's officials are very familiar with it.
This causes an issue of confidence. What the Liberals have said sounds really great, and they have made very strong promises, but they have had all the information and the opportunity to show leadership on this for a decade.
I would like to hear a guarantee that the minister will live up to the Prime Minister's promise that we will have the harmonized trucking regulations by July 1.
