The federal transport minister says the government plans to create a suite of policy responses to help ease pandemic-strained supply chains and prevent future flare-ups.

The problems in supply chains that have driven up the cost of business, and the prices of consumer goods, prompted a handful of cabinet ministers, industry and labour groups to meet Monday.

Alghabra says there are signs that problems are beginning to ease, and suggests every step the government takes, and every policy it makes, will look to avoid straining trade problems anew. Trucking HR Canada said the country is experiencing its highest-ever driver vacancy rate. CEO Angela Splinter said some government programs have helped, but the industry needs to quickly get more drivers and fill other key positions.

The number of truckers crossing the border fell by 1.1 per cent during the same period in 2021 and by seven per cent in 2019. Global supply chains have been gummed up as production tries to ramp up to manage an increased demand for goods. Shipping costs have risen by eight to nine times above pre-pandemic levels.
