Minister, on February 18, two days after you lifted your ministerial order, a CN train went off the tracks just south of Emo, Ontario. A total of 31 rail cars went off the tracks, 26 of which were tankers, and five leaked crude oil. This is according to the safety board.
People in Emo were very frightened by what happened. People in communities across the country, including those in Saskatchewan, are asking, why not make permanent what you made temporary? As we know, only two days later, the derailment in Emo took place, a derailment that could have been much worse.
