Canada’s transport minister says the vaccine mandate for cross-border truckers hasn’t had an affect on the quantity of vehicles on the border.
“I'm monitoring the quantity day by day on the border,” Omar Alghabra informed Evan Solomon on CTV Information Channel’s Energy Play Monday.
“Trucking quantity has not been measurably impacted in any respect,” he stated, “We've not seen any indicators of modifications to trucking visitors at our border,” he added.
Alghabra informed Solomon that final week nearly 100,000 truck drivers crossed the border.
The federal authorities’s vaccine mandate for worldwide truckers got here into impact earlier this month.
The mandate sparked a convoy that's on its third day of protesting in Ottawa. The convoy has been condemned by the Canadian Trucking Alliance.
