Mr. Speaker, while Conservatives boast, the TSB says the government simply is not getting the job done on rail safety.
Yesterday the president of the Transportation Safety Board, Kathy Fox, said, “...actions taken to date are insufficient”. She said, “...a weak company safety culture and inadequate Transport Canada oversight contributed to the Lac-Mégantic accident.” She said that Transport Canada still has problems with oversight and inspections.
In light of all this, why is the government still cutting funds for transport safety?
