Mr. Speaker, I thank the member for his speech.
Although this bill is a step in the right direction, it is clearly the result of a decade of mismanagement and bad decision-making under this government.
Why do we not have a plan and concrete measures for prevention and rail maintenance? We know what poor condition our rails are in. Rail cars are being added, but as anyone who has studied physics knows, the more cars you add, the greater the force exerted when the train is on a hill.
Why did the government not go further with this bill?
