Canada鈥檚 transport minister says the vaccine mandate for cross-border truckers hasn鈥檛 had an impact on the volume of trucks at the border.
鈥淚 am monitoring the volume every day at the border,鈥� Omar Alghabra told Evan Solomon on 麻豆影视 Channel鈥檚 Power Play Monday.
鈥淭rucking volume has not been measurably impacted at all,鈥� he said, 鈥淲e have not seen any signs of changes to trucking traffic at our border,鈥� he added.
Alghabra told Solomon that last week almost 100,000 truck drivers crossed the border.
The federal government鈥檚 vaccine mandate for international truckers came into effect earlier this month.
The mandate sparked a convoy that is on its third day of protesting in Ottawa. The convoy has been condemned by the Canadian Trucking Alliance.
