Let me start by saying thank you to our truckers. Canadian truckers have served and continue to serve Canadians with professionalism, with dedication and with pride. They delivered vaccines and other critical equipment—produce, manufactured equipment and parts—for our economy and for Canadians during a very challenging time. They also understood how important it was to get vaccinated, for themselves and for their loved ones and co-workers. That's why 90% of truckers are fully vaccinated. That's why truckers have distanced themselves from these illegal blockades and illegal occupations. Truckers are working, as we speak, delivering for Canadians.
I also want to thank all workers in the transportation sector. Our transportation sector is critical to our economy. It's critical to our security. If you speak to other sectors, they'll tell you that one of the most challenging issues today is absenteeism, because of infection rates or because of hospitalization or challenges caused by COVID. Workers in the transportation sector stepped up. They stepped up to protect themselves, their loved ones and their co-workers, but also to protect our supply chain.
