Mr. Speaker, September 23 to 29 marks Rail Safety Week. This week serves as a reminder of the importance of keeping our railways and our train yards safe. As we acknowledge the tragedies of the past, we must recommit to the safety of our railways going forward.
Our railway workers keep our economy moving. They keep Canadians moving. More importantly, they keep Canadians safe. The work they do every day does not go unnoticed. Every year, 375 million tonnes of freight move across our rails. Millions of passengers are taken safely to their destination.
Conservatives will always be there to stand up for our rail workers because they are always there to protect the safety of Canadians. I thank them for keeping Canadians moving safely.
