Mr. Speaker, three engineers paid with their lives when VIA derailed in Burlington.
For a decade, the Transportation Safety Board has asked the minister to mandate automatic braking systems and voice recorders for all trains. Derailment after derailment, year after year, the minister failed to act. Today the safety board asked the same thing again.
How many more crashes and how many lost lives will it take for the minister and the Conservative government to act and put safety first?
