Mr. Speaker, Transport Canada is investigating allegations that 57 rail cars were left parked on a mountain slope outside Revelstoke, B.C., without proper handbrakes. After what we have learned from the Lac-Mégantic disaster, it is unbelievable that another train loaded with dangerous cargo may have been left unattended and another community put at risk.
The Transportation Safety Board is reporting increased incidents of derailments, runaway trains, and violations of rail safety rules.
Will the Liberal government get serious and enforce safety rules to prevent more rail disasters?
