Mr. Speaker, I do not think Canadians are reassured by the minister's words, and they should not be.
In fact, the Public Accounts released yesterday show that in spite of all her talk of rail safety, the Conservatives actually cut funding for rail safety in each of the last two years. Last year, they failed to spend nearly $4 million of the budget that was left.
Why do the Conservatives say one thing and do the other when it comes to ensuring rail safety?
