At meetings in Saskatoon, the First Ministers announced an agreement to implement an efficient and effective strategy to coordinate major nation building projects, while directing ministers of Transport across the country to cooperate in rapidly expanding the trucking pilot announced in 2024, with the goal of removing many internal trade barriers within the domestic trucking supply chain. “The Prime Minister and the First Ministers have reaffirmed the critical role the trucking industry plays in Canada and made it clear to Canadians and the business community that measures to improve productivity and efficiency in the supply chain will be implemented quickly,” said CTA President and CEO Stephen Laskowski. “Today’s announcement to expand the trucking pilot should allow our industry, all levels of government and the contractors for these nation-building projects to mitigate costly permitting issues that create significant delays. CTA welcomes the strong leadership from the First Ministers.”
