The Globe and Mail reports in its Thursday edition that Manitoba is calling for a national trucking registry after a fatal crash last week involving a company that had been decertified in the province but was subsequently licensed to operate by the Alberta government. A triple-bylined item led by Matthew Frank says provincial Transportation and Infrastructure Minister Lisa Naylor told The Globe that Ottawa must take action against "bad actors" in the trucking industry. She said a national database would ensure that safety fitness certificates can be tracked across the country. Her statement was prompted by an accident May 27 in Brandon, where a transport truck allegedly blew through a stop sign and crashed into an SUV, killing its 49-year-old female driver. The truck was owned by Conquer Transport; the company's Manitoba safety fitness certificate was revoked in November, 2021, because of "ongoing deficiencies in safe operation." Critics have called on transport authorities to implement more pro-active safety measures, including increasing the number of in-depth safety audits of trucking companies' vehicle maintenance and driver records. Brijpal Panwar, 35, was arrested and charged with dangerous driving causing death.
