    Share
    OTTAWA -

    Transport Minister Omar Alghabra told CTV鈥檚 Power Play that he will hold a summit next week with supply chain stakeholders.

    鈥淭here isn鈥檛 a single person that we know, or ourselves, that have not experienced supply-chain issues over the past couple of months or past couple of years,鈥 he told Evan Solomon on 麻豆影视 Channel鈥檚 Power Play. He called COVID-19 鈥渢he root cause鈥 of those issues.

    Alghabra also said the federal government is working to address labour shortages.

    A convoy of protesters is heading to Ottawa to rally against a vaccine mandate for truckers crossing into Canada. The mandate on the American side of the border came into effect Sunday.

    Alghabra says the federal government has been phasing in vaccine mandates across industries that make up the country鈥檚 supply chains.

    鈥淲e started with travellers first,鈥 told Power Play. He said that approach included mandating vaccines for marine and air travel before moving to border truckers.

    鈥淟ast November we announced that we are going to implement it for truck drivers who are crossing the border,鈥 he told Power Play.
