Let me give you an example.
Yesterday, March 26, I met with the union representative who was investigating MMA concerning a dismissal. The issue in the case was parking on a main track. Basically, a train parked on the main track was hit by another train. We thought that the new Transport Canada rules had resolved the matter. I was told that Transport Canada had established new rules that apply to different railways. Employees were asked to sign a document indicating that they had read the rules. We were given no information about this. And there was no follow-up.
You can see what situation our workers are in. Once again, there are accident risks. The train could have jumped the tracks and gone through a community without anyone even knowing what it was carrying. It is important that Transport Canada take its responsibilities and, if need be, impose severe penalties on companies that do not follow the rules. Transport Canada must also follow-up on training and ensure that its rules are being applied properly. However, that is not the way things are currently.
