I start by committing to ensuring that Via Rail has revised protocols so this never happens again. Via Rail is an independent organization, a Crown corporation, so it is operationally separate, but I am demanding better service, better quality, better protocols and better communication plans from Via Rail. In fact, I demanded a third party investigation into the events and an update of its emergency action plan and of the review of employee training.
Therefore, you can see, in the short time that I have been transport minister, that I have been on the phone with the chair and with the CEO of Via Rail, demanding better services for passengers and demanding better for the population of our country.
