Mr. Speaker, an investigation based on data from the Transportation Safety Board of Canada has shown that the number of incidents involving runaway trains every year is three times higher than we thought.
Most of these incidents are not made public.
What is most troubling is that the cause of the Lac-Mégantic tragedy is not technically classified in that category under the current definition.
Why so much secrecy around these runaway trains? Why are there not more investigations?
