Mr. Speaker, I would like to thank the member for his question.
Indeed, if the trains are moving more slowly, there is less of a risk. The government is telling us that trains will go slower in downtown areas. However, people who live near the railway tracks say that the trains move quite rapidly, especially at night. We are very concerned about the fact that there is a much greater risk of an accident—a serious accident—when trains are travelling at high speeds, especially in big cities.
If these trains have to continue to pass through our cities across the country, we need to make sure that they slow down in order to keep people as safe as possible.
