Mr. Péloquin, it has been more than two years since these events took place, and the measures are still not effective.
The incident did not occur in the middle of nowhere, but along Highway 20, with buses and villages nearby. Something could have been done other than leave hundreds of people on a train for 10 hours. This is beyond unacceptable. In fact, I read the minister's comments, and he too called the situation unacceptable.
What were the first communications between the minister's office and Via Rail regarding this incident? Who initiated the communications?
