Feds working to prevent supply-chain shortages with trucker vaccine mandate coming Saturday

Share
OTTAWA -

Canada鈥檚 international trade minister says the federal government is working to make sure supply chains are secure when a trucker vaccine mandate comes into effect.

Evan Solomon asked Mary Ng on CTV鈥檚 Power Play Wednesday if Canadians should expect goods supply shortages Saturday when that mandate comes into effect.

鈥淣o, not all,鈥 Ng responded.

Critics of the vaccine mandate for truckers crossing from the United States into Canada say it will sideline truckers and burden Canada鈥檚 supply chains.

Unvaccinated Canadian truckers will be able to return to Canada but will be required to isolate for 14 days. Unvaccinated American truckers will be barred from entering the country.

The Canadian Trucking Alliance estimates the mandate could result in a loss of 12,000 to 16,000 border truckers.

When asked if Canada has extra truck drivers ready to get on the road she said 鈥渨e鈥檙e working with the industry,鈥 and that officials 鈥渁re taking a whole of government approach.鈥
