Trucker protests: Alghabra calls for province to use ‘extensive regulatory powers’ to end Ottawa demonstration

Transport Minister Omar Alghabra called on the provincial government Monday to use its own “extensive regulatory powers” over commercial trucking and road transportation to bring an end to the ongoing trucker convoy protests in Ottawa. He also suggested they learn from other provinces, like Quebec, which he said “successfully” conducted roadside safety inspections on trucks travelling to blockades.
