The CTA is reminding members to register for the upcoming focus group discussions taking place with Altis Consulting on behalf of the Privy Council Office to identify barriers to internal trade and labour mobility in the trucking sector.
As mentioned by CTA previously, The PCO is currently looking for participants to take part during the months of March and April 2024 and individuals can click on the links below to register for the Zoom sessions and learn more about the focus groups topics:
- Barriers to labour mobility between provinces and territories
- Internal trade barriers affecting rural, remote, and Northern trucking businesses
- Barriers affecting businesses in the Atlantic region
- Internal trade barriers affecting businesses owned by members of a minority group
- Identifying other internal trade barriers
- Barriers preventing businesses from engaging in internal trade
The deadline to register for the discussion groups is March 18. Members who are unable to take part in the focus groups are encouraged to delegate participation to anyone in their organization who can provide informed input on the subject, which could include experienced drivers, admin, or operational staff.
All focus groups will be bilingual, and participants will have the opportunity to speak in the official language of their choice. For reporting purposes, all input will be aggregated, and no confidential or proprietary information will be included.
