led by Minister Garneau, tasked the Canadian Council for Motor Transport Administrators (CCMTA) with developing a pre-licence training standard\u00a0(mandatory entry level training) for\u00a0class 1\/A\u00a0commercial drivers.\u00a0The project group established by CCMTA to address this issue began developing standards in June.<\/p>\n<p>In the lead up, feedback was solicited from CTA and the provincial associations, which included:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Making the standard mandatory coast-to-coast;<\/li>\n<li>Aligning written and road tests with training content;<\/li>\n<li>Developing the standard\u00a0by building on the pre-licence framework of the National Occupational Standard for Commercial Vehicle Operator {Truck Driver} (NOS);<\/li>\n<li>Addressing oversight with respect to instructor qualifications, oversight of training schools, standardized testing and evaluations among training schools and consistency in road test application amongst jurisdictions, and;<\/li>\n<li>Addressing consistent reciprocal recognition of pre-licence training when a driver is physically changing residence from one jurisdiction to another and applying for a new licence.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Comprised of government members from all Canadian provinces and territories as well as Transport Canada under the umbrella of the CCMTA\u2019s Drivers and Vehicles Program Committee (D&amp;V), the project group will leverage the recent pre-licence standards work developed in Alberta, Manitoba, Ontario and Saskatchewan as well as the work of other Canadian jurisdictions.<\/p>\n<p>The standard, slated to be presented to the Council of Ministers in January 2020, will be designed with the intention of being embedded into the National Safety Code.<\/p>\n<p>The next touch-point with industry is expected around August when the group is further along with the standards development.\u00a0At this point, further input will be provided by CTA.<\/p>\n<p>The\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/cantruck.ca\/cta-releases-10-point-action-plan-to-address-national-truck-safety-and-compliance\/\">10-Point Truck Safety Action<\/a>\u00a0plan developed in
