Lise Vaugeois, MPP for Thunder Bay–Superior North, criticizes the provincial government for failing to address fraudulent commercial driver licensing in Ontario. Her statement follows an upcoming CBC Marketplace investigation, 'Truckload of Trouble,' which exposes how unqualified truckers are obtaining licenses.
The MPP for Thunder Bay–Superior North, Lise Vaugeois, condemned the provincial government today for not cracking down on fraudulent licensing of untrained commercial vehicle drivers in Ontario.
CBC describes it as "Uncovering shocking details about how some unqualified truckers are finding their way onto our roads." Two years ago six people, including four from Ontario, faced fraud charges, linked to a two-year OPP investigation related to commercial motor vehicle driver training. "The OPP's investigation revealed three major components of a serious fraudulent scheme, significantly impacting the safety of Canadian highways."
