Mr. Speaker, the commissioner of the environment and sustainable development has revealed that Transport Canada still has major shortcomings in the transportation of dangerous goods: outdated lists, thousands of unregulated facilities, no standards and a lack of preparedness for emergency situations.
The mayor of Lac-Mégantic clearly stated, “it is not right that reports should cause so much concern seven years later”.
The Minister of Transport says over and over again that rail safety is his first priority.
When is he going to stop talking and really start doing something to make the safety of Canadians a priority?
