COVID-19 PANDEMIC

The Company continues to remain focused on the health and safety of customers and employees, while maintaining the highway and open-access to an essential transportation corridor. With the phased reopening of the Province and GTA businesses, the Company has observed steady improvements in traffic volumes as compared to the earlier periods of the pandemic. While traffic volume was lower by approximately 42% for the third quarter of 2020 as compared to the same period in 2019, this represents a marked increase over the second quarter of 2020 when traffic was lower by approximately 67% as compared to the second quarter of 2019. Despite the impact of lower revenues due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the Company maintains sufficient liquidity to satisfy all of its obligations during 2020.
