This is another example of how Ottawa has been proactively working and consulting with our sector and organization during the COVID-19 crisis,\u201d said CTA president Stephen Laskowski. \u201cCTA will be working with its provincial association partners to ensure the views and concerns of fleets and drivers from across Canada are expressed throughout this process.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The Council will provide advice on building innovative and agile supply chains for goods in wide use such as masks, gloves and disinfectants; including production, sourcing, shipping and distribution strategies as the situation surrounding COVID-19 continues to evolve.<\/p>\n<p>\u00ab\u00a0Since the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic, we have engaged with provinces, territories, and the private and non-governmental sectors to respond to this crisis.
