    This is unfair competition and a complete waste of taxpayers money. A better much more effective solution would be limit wage subsidy to $10,000 per trucking for non drivers wages. Assistance with insurance costs and medical bills for truck drivers who get sick and for 75 percent of of hotel room up to 40 dollars U S or 52cd per night for truck drivers with no home or apartment or in delivery or pick up in hotspot or in another country is a much better idea. Help with insurance costs and one year exemption from the border crossing fees and the heavy user fee for the first 50 trucks in any fleet along with up to one million dollars per company in insurance costs for truck bus wheelchair taxis and city transit
    Assistance in wages should have only apply to transportation that is hauling people.

    Some of these companies had little or no change in business during the lockdowns.

    Grocery stores were listed despite record demand. Explain that?

    Everyone will be paying this back thru higher taxes to prop up zombie companies for a few months.

      $5-10 MM for Grocery Haulers Inc. – Iselin, New Jersey

      LOL? Is this a joke?
