Send a letter to support Canada's motor coach industry
OMCA
As our industry continues to recover from the COVID-19 pandemic and we see a return to tourism, we need continued support from the federal government to ensure we can meet demand. As many of you know, the federal government has the constitutional responsibility for regulating motor carriers, but the Motor Vehicle Transport Act, 1987 delegates to the provinces the authority to regulate them. Unfortunately, this gap in authority has left federally regulated motor coach carriers with little support or leadership at both levels of government.
