Today, Transport Canada’s trucking hackathon kicks off. Provinces and territories are getting together to bring down interprovincial barriers to trucking in Canada, which could grow our GDP by up to $1.6 billion annually. By working together, we can build the strongest economy in the G7.

Back in Regina after the @WESTAC Fall Member Forum in Calgary. Excellent chance to discuss supply chain challenges and opportunities. Also had a productive discussion with @MinPiwniuk and @DevinDVote about how to improve market access for the important industries in the Prairies. – at Calgary, Alberta

Supply chains are the backbone of our economy. I met with @WESTAC today to see how they’re bringing together industry and government to help make our supply chains stronger for Canadians.
