Madam Speaker, I thank my colleague for her comments. This is extremely important. Under the Harper government, rail safety regulations and inspections all became a thing of the past. They were replaced by a self-management system, which put company directors in charge of managing rail safety. Since that time, the number of deaths has grown, and several tragic, horrifying accidents have happened. Unfortunately, the Liberal government has done nothing to correct this irresponsible move by the Harper government. I would like my colleague to tell us how important it is to reinstate rail safety inspections with federal government oversight to improve rail safety.
