The Prime Minister can reject what he wants, Mr. Speaker, but he cannot reject the facts.
Six hundred and fifty eminent lawyers and law professors are asking him to apologize.
Yesterday, the Prime Minister said that in the case of the Lac-Mégantic tragedy, the rules were not followed. There is still no financial penalty for companies that do not abide by the rules. The government should not wait until someone is killed before taking action. In 2012, two years ago, Parliament gave the government the power to impose substantial financial penalties on railroad companies that endanger public safety.
When will the Prime Minister finally do something about railway safety?
