Via Rail services were disrupted because the rail lines that they use were not operational in a way to meet their expectations. In British Columbia, the rail lines were not operational either, the very same ones used by Via Rail in Quebec.
What steps is the minister willing to take to ensure that the rail lines in British Columbia are operational when the next natural disaster comes? I do believe, as your government has stated many times, that another natural disaster will come, which will wipe out all three of those railways simultaneously once again.
