Madam Speaker, our country's rail transportation system connects communities and keeps our supply chains running. However, accidents still happen that unfortunately result in injuries and even fatalities. Can the Minister of Transport update the House on what our government is doing to protect Canadians and keep our rail system safe?

Madam Speaker, I want to thank my hon. colleague for his advocacy. Our government is working to ensure that Canada's rail transportation system remains one of the safest in the world. This morning, I announced that we are investing $24 million for 147 projects across the country under our rail safety improvement program. This is in addition to the $107 million we have invested since 2017. I want to assure my hon. colleague and all Canadians that we will keep taking action to keep our rail system safe.
