ETOBICOKE, Ont. — Transport Canada says it will require all commercial drivers to have electronic logging devices.

The federal department says it will make the tamper-resistant devices mandatory on June 12, 2021, to ensure truck and bus drivers are not on the road for longer than their daily limit.

The department says the change comes after talks with industry partners and all levels of government.
