Good afternoon, Mr. Barsalou-Duval.
The first responders can use the AskRail mobile app, which provides information on hazardous materials transported by the trains.
The information in question is quite confidential and is forwarded only to first responders who have completed the training provided by TRANSCAER, which is an awareness initiative offered to first responders. The training is free of charge and organized by the Railway Association of Canada and the Chemistry Industry Association of Canada.
I can confirm that training was provided to first responders in Mr. Bourdeau's municipality in 2019 and 2021. Our association believes it's important to work with the municipalities and first responders to give them the training they need in the event incidents occur.
The program has been around for many years, and we'd be prepared to work with the mayor and the municipality to provide further training in 2022.
